22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching,
and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be
saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter
in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door,
and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord,
open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye
are:
26 Then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou
hast taught in our streets.
27 But
he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all
ye workers of iniquity.
28 There
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you
yourselves thrust out.
29 And
they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and
from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And,
behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall
be last.
