It also goes back to weighing actions more than words. Jesus also taught that in the parable about the two sons - not the prodigal but the one where one son says "yes father i'll do it" but doesn't and the other that says "no" but then reconsiders and does what the father asked.

The parable may have significance in theology. Is faith words alone or words and deeds?
