Les paraboles de Jésus
The Parable of the Two Sons
Jesus asks the chief priests and the elders of the people: A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, "Go and work in the vineyard today." "I don't want to," he answered, but later changed his mind and went. The father went to the second son and said the same thing. He replied, "I will, sir," but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father? "The first," they answered. Jesus said to them: "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him."
Matthieu 21,28-32
28"What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
Τί δὲ ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; ἄνθρωπος εἶχεν τέκνα δύο. ⸀προσελθὼν τῷ πρώτῳ εἶπεν· Τέκνον, ὕπαγε σήμερον ἐργάζου ἐν τῷ ⸀ἀμπελῶνι.
29He answered, 'I don't want to,' but later he changed his mind and went.
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ⸂Οὐ θέλω· ὕστερον δὲ μεταμεληθεὶς⸃ ἀπῆλθεν.
30Then the father went to the second and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go.
⸂προσελθὼν δὲ⸃ τῷ ⸀δευτέρῳ εἶπεν ὡσαύτως· ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν· ⸂Ἐγώ, κύριε· καὶ οὐκ⸃ ἀπῆλθεν.
31Which of the two did the will of his father?" "The first," they said. Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.
τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; ⸀λέγουσιν· Ὁ ⸀πρῶτος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.
32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did believe him. You saw it, and even afterward you would not change your minds and believe him.
ἦλθεν γὰρ ⸂Ἰωάννης πρὸς ὑμᾶς⸃ ἐν ὁδῷ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι ἐπίστευσαν αὐτῷ· ὑμεῖς δὲ ἰδόντες ⸀οὐδὲ μετεμελήθητε ὕστερον τοῦ πιστεῦσαι αὐτῷ.
