Notes About The Poem

The Parable of the Two Sons

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.
