KJV - Matthew 21:31

Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Which one of them followed their father's wishes? They said it was the first one. Jesus replied, "I assure you, the tax collectors and sex workers will enter the kingdom of heaven before you."
