Context of Luke 13:28

26Then you will begin to say, “But Master, we had meals with you. You taught us in the streets of our villages.” 27But he will tell you, “No! I really do not know you. I do not know where you come from. You have done very bad things, so go away from me, all of you!” Then you will weep very much because you are standing outside. You will bite your teeth together. You will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the place where God rules. You will also see all God's prophets there. But God will shut you outside. 29At that time, people will come from everywhere in the world, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. They will all come to take their place in the kingdom of God. There they will sit down together to eat a great meal. 30Listen! At that time, some people that are not important now will become the most important. And some people that are now the most important will not be important then.’
