ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
And when he had come into the temple, it happened that as he was teaching the people and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, saying: 'By what authority do you do these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?' And Jesus, answering, said to them: 'I also will ask you one word, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, whence was it, from heaven or from men?' But they reasoned within themselves, saying: 'If we say, from men, we fear the multitude'; for all held John as a prophet. And answering Jesus, they said: 'We do not know.' He also said to them:
'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. But what do you think? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: "Son, go work today in my vineyard." But he, answering, said: "I will not." Yet afterward, moved by repentance, he went. And coming to the other, he said likewise. But he, answering, said: "I go, lord," and he went not. Which of the two did the will of his father?' They said: 'The last.' Jesus said to them: 'Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go before you into the kingdom of God. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the publicans and harlots believed him; yet you, seeing it, did not repent afterward, that you might believe him.'
