20161213 Gospel Mt 21:28-32

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ The son said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did his father’s will?” They answered, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the Kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.”

Pamalandong:

Dinhi sa ato Ebanghelyo, tagkumpara ni Jesus and duha ka managsoon na tagsugo nan ila tatay na an una, nagbagutbot ‘katapos notubag na dili nija himoon an tagpahimo dija pero sa kapulihay, tagtuman sanan taghimo ra nija an tagsugo dija.

Sa ikaduha na anak, listo karajaw sija sa pagtubag sa ija tatay na himoon nija an tagpahimo dija, pero waya nija himoa an tagsulti nan ija tatay na himoon nija.

Malaong nato na an una na anak amo’y nagrepresenta sa mga makasasaya na nakombertir na magbag’o tungod sa mga tudlo ni John the Baptist, pero an ikaduha na bata, nagrepresnta sa mga scribe sanan mga Pharisee na kon tan-awon, amo ran nan mga tarong sanan waya’y mga saya sila pero waya modawat sa mga tudlo ni John the Baptist.

Kuman, mangutana kita sa ato mga kaugalingon: uno man kita na mga klase na anak ni God?
