Luke 13:18-30

18He saidG3004 thereforeG3767, Unto what isG1510 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 like? and whereunto shall I liken it? 19It isG1510 like unto a grainG2848 of mustardG4615 seed, which a manG444 tookG2983, and castG906 into his ownG1438 gardenG2779; and it grewG837, and becameG1096 a treeG1186; and the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 lodged in the branchesG2798 thereof.

20And againG3825 he saidG3004, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 21It isG1510 like unto leavenG2219, which a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG2928 in threeG5140 measures of meal, till it wasG1510 all leavenedG2220.

22And he went on his way through citiesG4172 and villagesG2968, teachingG1321, and journeying on unto JerusalemG2414. 23And oneG5100 saidG3004 unto him, LordG2962, are they fewG3641 that are savedG4982? And he saidG3004 unto them, 24StriveG75 to enterG1525 in by the narrowG4728 doorG2374: for manyG4183, I sayG3004 unto you, shall seekG2212 to enterG1525 in, and shall not be ableG2480. 25When once the masterG2962 of the houseG3617 isG1510 risenG1453 up, and hath shut to the doorG2374, and ye beginG757 to standG2476 without, and to knockG2925 at the doorG2374, sayingG3004, LordG2962, openG455 to us; and he shall answerG611 and sayG3004 to you, I know you not whence ye areG1510; 26then shall ye beginG757 to sayG3004, We did eatG2068 and drinkG4095 in thy presenceG1799, and thou didst teachG1321 in our streetsG4116; 27and he shall sayG3004, I tellG3004 you, I know not whence ye areG1510; departG868 from me, all ye workersG2040 of iniquityG93. 28There shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599, whenG3752 ye shall seeG3708 AbrahamG11, and IsaacG2464, and JacobG2384, and all the prophetsG4396, in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, and yourselvesG4771 castG1544 forth without. 29And they shall comeG2240 from the eastG395 and westG1424, and from the northG1005 and southG3558, and shall sit down in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 30And beholdG2400, there areG1510 lastG2078 who shall beG1510 firstG4413, and there areG1510 firstG4413 who shall beG1510 lastG2078.
