“Tell me what you think about this: A man had two sons. He went to the first son and said, ‘Son, go and work today in my vineyard.’
The son answered, ‘I will not go.’ But later the son changed his mind and went.
Then the father went to the other son and said, ‘Son, go and work today in my vineyard.’ The son answered, ‘Yes, sir, I will go and work,’ but he did not go.
Which of the two sons obeyed his father?”
“The first son.”
—Matthew 21:28-32
While both of the sons were liars, Jesus states the first son is the obedient one, comparing the Pharisees to the second son. Those who cloak themselves in the fascade of piety but disobey God and miscegenate, are worse than the wicked sinners who didn't.
