Parable of the Two Sons

Parable of the Two Sons: Matthew 21. 28-32

(based on the old Scottish playground rhyme, ‘Did you ever see a lassie?’

A man had two sons and this is what he said to the first,

“Will you come and do a job for me,

Work with me? Help me?

Will you come and do a task,

In our vineyard today?”

But the first son had this to say:-

“O Father, I cannot, I should not, I will not!”

But then he thought about it, and went anyway.

Then the father said the same to the second son,

Will you come and do a job for me,

Work with me? Help me?

Will you come and do a task for me,

Some time today?

And the second son replied:-

“O Father, I can do, I should do, I will do!”

So his father waited for him, but he never came.
