People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 21:32 Repented not afterward. The Greek word here translated "repent", is not the one which is used in all commands as, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:2), "Repent and be baptized" (Acts 2:38), "Repent and be converted" (Acts 3:19), etc. This term "metamellomai" means, rather, "regret" or "sorrow"; the word in the other passages, "metanoeo", means "change your minds" or "hearts". The regret, or sorrow, for sin leads to repentance (II Corinthians 7:10). The scribes and Pharisees did not regret their course, when they saw sinners repenting, so that they could come into a penitent belief.
