4But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.

5Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

6And it may be that I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I go.

7For I do not wish to see you now on the way; but I hope to stay awhile with you, if the Lord permits.

28And He said to them, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 'But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go, work today in my vineyard.'

30Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.

31Which of the two did the will of his father?'

32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him. They said to Him, 'The first.'
