Refusal repented of (vs. 28b-29) __________________ 1 This outline follows the text of the majority of major translations with the exception of the NASB (original). The best manuscripts are divided on the issue of which son was addressed first. The original version of the NASB chose to follow the manuscripts where the first child was marked by initial compliance but no obedience. The 1995 updated NASB reversed that decision and followed the same course as most other English translations. 3. Acceptance not acted on (vs. 30) B. The Call of the Gospel as it Relates to Words, Actions, and Repentance (21:31-32) 1. The truth that can be obvious in life yet oblivious in the gospel (vs. 31a) 2.
