Luke 13:24-30

24“Exert every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

25Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, ‘Lord, let us in!’ But he will answer you, ‘I don’t know where you come from.’

26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’

27But he will reply, ‘I don’t know where you come from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’

28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out.

29Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.

30But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
