Luke 13:25-35

25Once the head of the house gets up and 1shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘2Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘3I do not know where you are from.’ 26Then you will 4begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ 27And yet He will 5say, ‘6I do not know where you are from; 7leave Me, all you 8evildoers.’ 289In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. 29And they 10will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30And behold, 11some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

31At that very time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away and leave this place, because 12Herod wants to kill You.” 32And He said to them, “Go and tell that 13fox, ‘Behold, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I 1415reach My goal.’ 33Nevertheless 16I must go on My journey today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a 17prophet would perish outside Jerusalem. 3418Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, 19just as a hen gathers her 20young under her wings, and you were unwilling! 35Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until you say, ‘21Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
