Luke 13:23-35

23 Then someone said to him, Lord, are there few that will be saved?

And he said to them, 24 Strive with yourselves to enter in at the strait gate. For many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able. 25 When the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door to, you all will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us! And he will answer and say to you, I know you not, where you are from. 26 Then you will begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets. 27 And he will say, I tell you, I do not know you, where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!

28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at the doors. 29 And people will come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.

31 That same day, certain of the Pharisees came and said to him, Get yourself out of the way, and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you. 32 And he said to them, Go and tell that fox, behold, I cast out devils and heal the people today and tomorrow, and the third day I make an end of it. 33 Nevertheless, I must be going on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish anywhere other than at Jerusalem.

34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, like the hen gathers her nest under her wings! But you would not. 35 Behold, your habitation shall be left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes that you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
