Luke 13:25-35 ▼

25 From the time when the master of the house should rise up, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us: and having answered, he will say to you, I know not whence ye are:

26 Then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank before thee, and thou didst teach in our streets.

27 And he will say, I say to you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workmen of iniquity.

28 Weeping shall be there and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast without.

29 And they shall come from the risings, and the settings, and from north, and south, and they shall recline in the kingdom of God.

30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

31 In the same day certain Pharisees came near, saying to him, Come out, and go from thence: for Herod wishes to kill thee.

32 And he said to them, Having gone, say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and complete cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I am completed.

33 But I must go to day and to morrow and the following: for it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.

34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and striking with stones those having been sent to her; how often I wished to gather thy children together, which manner a hen her young brood under the wings, and ye would not!

35 Behold, your house is left to you a desert: and truly I say to you, That ye should not see me, until it should come when ye say, Praised he coming in the name of the Lord.
