13:23 And said someone to him: Lord, if few the
ones being saved? And he said to them: 24 Struggle to enter through the strait
door, because many, I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able. 25
From the time when is risen the house-master. Later and he shuts the door,
and ye begin outside to stand and to knock the door saying. Lord, open to
us, and answering he will say to you: I know not you whence ye are. 26 Then
ye will begin to say: We ate before thee and drank, and in the streets of
us thou didst teach: 27 and he will say telling you: not I know
|
whence
ye are: stand away from me all workers of unrighteousness. 28 There will be
the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth when ye see Abraham and Isaac and
Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God,
but you being thrust out outside. 29 And they will come from east and west
and from north and south, and will recline in the kingdom of God.
30 And behold there are last ones who will be first, and there are first
ones who will be last.
