Matthew 21:31

Τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησε τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Ὁ πρῶτος. Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

RBT Translation:

Esau or Jacob?

Who from out of the Two made the Desire of the Father? They are saying, 'the Latter One.' The Salvation is saying to themselves, "Trustworthy One, I am saying to yourselves that the Tax Farmers and the Prostitutes are leading ahead of yourselves into the Queen of the God!"⁴¹

Tax Farmers and Prostitutes are what you don't want in her!

Genesis 33
A scene of the order of crossing over is depicted by Jacob, who crossed to their faces. Jacob ("Heel Chaser") then puts the two maid-slaves and their children as First, and Weary ("Leah") and her children behind, and Ewe ("Rachel") and Joseph ("He Adds") as the last ones to "come in." A crossing over of eternity.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

LITV Translation:
Which of the two did the will of the father? They said to Him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.

Mat 21:31

Earliest authoritative manuscripts have the Latter/Last One not "the First One":

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:31 Greek NT: Nestle 1904
τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν Ὁ ὕστερος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 21:31 Greek NT: Westcott and Hort 1881
τίς ἐκ τῶν δύο ἐποίησεν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πατρός; λέγουσιν Ὁ ὕστερος. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οἱ τελῶναι καὶ αἱ πόρναι προάγουσιν ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ.

Tradition made quite the saying of tax farmers and prostitutes entering "the kingdom" before anyone else. This is as backwards as it gets.
