What does the Bible say about the two sons in Matthew 21?

Answered in 1 source

In Matthew 21, Jesus uses the parable of two sons to illustrate obedience to God's will, contrasting those who initially refuse but later repent with those who promise compliance but do not act.

In Matthew 21:28-32, Jesus tells the parable of a father who asks his two sons to work in the vineyard. The first son initially refuses but later repents and goes to work, while the second son agrees to go but fails to follow through. Jesus uses this story to highlight that the publicans and harlots, who repented and believed John the Baptist's message, would enter the kingdom of God before the religious leaders who pretended to be obedient but rejected Christ. This parable emphasizes the importance of true faith and repentance over mere outward compliance.
