Context of Luke 13:29

27But he will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you’re from. Get away from me, all you evildoers!’ 28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that place, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown out. They will come from east and west, from north and south, to share the banquet in the kingdom of God. 30Note this: Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.” 31At that time some Pharisees came and told him, “Go, get out of here. Herod wants to kill you.”
