Luke 13:23-29

English Standard Version

²³ And someone said to him, “Lord, ^(A)will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, ^24 (B)“Strive ^(C)to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. ^25 (D)When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ^(E)‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ^(F)‘I do not know where you come from.’ ²⁶ Then you will begin to say, ^(G)‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ²⁷ But he will say, ‘I tell you, ^(H)I do not know where you come from. ^(I)Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ ^28 (J)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see ^(K)Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but ^(L)you yourselves cast out. ²⁹ And ^(M)people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and ^(N)recline at table in the kingdom of God.
