Context of Luke 13:29

27But He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Get away from Me, all of you evildoers!’” 28“There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. And they will come from the east and west and from the north and south, and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30And indeed, some are last who shall be first, and some are first who shall be last.” 31In that hour, some Pharisees came up and said to Yeshua, “Get out and leave from here, because Herod wants to kill You!”
