173:3.1 As the caviling [[Pharisees]] stood there in [[silence]] before [[Jesus]], he looked down on them and said: " Since you are in [[doubt]] about [[John the Baptist|John]]'s [[mission]] and arrayed in [[enmity]] against the [[teaching]] and the works of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man], give ear while I tell you a [[parable]]: A certain great and [[respected]] landholder had two sons, and [[desiring]] the help of his sons in the [[management]] of his large estates, he came to one of them, saying, `Son, go [[work]] today in my vineyard.' And this unthinking son answered his [[father]], saying, `I will not go'; but afterward he [[repented]] and went. When he had found his older son, likewise he said to him, `Son, go [[work]] in my vineyard.' And this [[hypocritical]] and unfaithful son answered, `Yes, my [[father]], I will go.' But when his father had departed, he went not. Let me ask you, which of these sons really did his [[father]]'s will? "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_21]
173:3.2 And the people spoke with one [[accord]], saying, " The first son. " And then said [[Jesus]]: " Even so; and now do I [[declare]] that the publicans and [[harlots]], even though they [[appear]] to refuse the call to [[repentance]], shall see the [[error]] of their way and go on into [[the kingdom]] of [[God]] before you, who make great pretensions of serving [[the Father]] in heaven while you refuse to [[Doing the will of God|do the works of the Father]]. It was not you, the [[Pharisees]] and [[scribes]], who believed [[John the Baptist|John]], but rather the publicans and [[sinners]]; neither do you [[believe]] my teaching, but the [[common people]] [[hear]] my [[words]] [[gladly]]. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_21]
173:3.3 [[Jesus]] did not despise the [[Pharisees]] and [[Sadducees]] personally. It was their [[systems]] of [[teaching]] and [[practice]] which he sought to discredit. He was [[hostile]] to no man, but here was occurring the [[inevitable]] clash between a new and living [[religion]] of the [[spirit]] and the older [[religion]] of [[ceremony]], [[tradition]], and [[authority]].
173:3.4 All this time the [[twelve apostles]] stood near [[the Master]], but they did not in any [[manner]] [[participate]] in these [[transactions]]. Each one of [[the twelve]] was [[reacting]] in his own peculiar way to the [[events]] of these closing days of [[Jesus]]' [[ministry]] in the [[flesh]], and each one likewise remained [[obedient]] to [[the Master]]'s injunction to refrain from all [[public]] [[teaching]] and [[preaching]] during this [[Passover]] week.
