Luke 13:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, ²⁴ “Try very hard to enter through the narrow door. I tell you, many will try to enter and will not be able to. ²⁵ The owner of the house will get up and close the door. Then you will stand outside knocking and begging. You will say, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you. And I don’t know where you come from.’
