Man of two sons say to the eldest, tend to the vineyard, he refused but then changed his mind and did so, the younger said yes, but he did not do as was asked. *As scriptured. The first (eldest son) are the lowly of Israel who was not wholeheartedly obedient to the Laws but were adherent followers of John the Baptist and accepted the way of righteousness. The second (youngest son) who are the boasters of Israel who obeys the Laws but was skeptical and despised John the Baptist and ergo, were not able to accept the way of righteousness.
