Matt 21:28 · Douay-Rheims
“But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.”
On this verse:
“He speaks to the Gentile people first, through their knowledge of the law of nature; Go and work in my vineyard; i. e. What you would not have done to you, that do not you to others. (Tobit 4:16.) He answers haughtily, I will not.”
