In context
28 Lakini mnafikiri nini? Mtu mwenye wana wawili. Akaenda kwa moja na kumwambia, `Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi katika shamba la mizabibu
29 leo. `Mwana akajibu na kusema, `sitakwenda, ' Lakini baadaye akabadilisha mawazo yake na akaenda.
30 Na Mtu yule akaenda kwa mwana wa pili na kusema kitu kilekile. Mwana huyu akajibu na kusema, `nitakwenda, bwana', lakini hakwenda.
31 Yupi kati ya wana wawili aliyefanya matakwa ya baba yake? Wakasema, “Mwana wa kwanza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, wakusanya ushuru na makahaba wataingia kwenye ufalme wa Mungu kabla yenu kuingia.
32 Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kwa njia iliyo nyoofu, lakini hamkumwamini, wakati wakusanya ushuru na makahaba walimwamini. Na ninyi, mlipoona hilo likitendeka, hamkuweza kutubu ili baadaye mumwamini.
33 Sikilizeni mfano mwingine. Kulikuwa na mtu, mtu mwenye eneo kubwa la ardh. Alipanda mizabibu, akaiwekea uzio, akatengeneza na chombo cha kukamlia divai, akajenga na mnara wa walinzi, na akalikodisha kwa watunza zabibu. Kisha akaenda katika nchi nyingine.
34 Wakati wa mavuno ya mizabibu ulipokaribia, aliwatuma baadhi ya watumishi kwa wakulima wa mizabibu kuchukua mizabibu yake.
