He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
|
| 23
|
And some one said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them,
|
| 24
|
"Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
|
| 25
|
When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, `Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, `I do not know where you come from.'
|
| 26
|
Then you will begin to say, `We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
|
| 27
|
But he will say, `I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!'
|
| 28
|
There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.
|
| 29
|
And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God.
|
| 30
|
And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."
