Context of Luke 13:29

27But he will tell you, ‘I don’t know who you are. Get away from me, all you evil people.’ 28Then you will cry and be in extreme pain. That’s what you’ll do when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets. They’ll be in God’s kingdom, but you’ll be thrown out. People will come from all over the world and will eat in God’s kingdom. 30Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.” 31At that time some Pharisees told Jesus, “Get out of here, and go somewhere else! Herod wants to kill you.”
