Translation

What the Fathers say

Matthew 21:29

Western Saints

Jerome

But he, answering, said: I do not want to. Afterwards, however, moved by repentance, he went. Qui superbe respondit: Nolo. But afterwards, upon the arrival of the Savior, the works of repentance were done in the vineyard of God, and the insolence of speech was corrected by labor.

Commentary on Matthew ↗

Thomas Aquinas

Then the refusal is presented. "But he answering said: I will not." This is nothing other than to despise the commands of God. Job 21:14: "The knowledge of thy ways we desire not." After this follows the fulfillment: "but afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went." Jer 31:19: "After thou didst convert me, I did penance."
