 Then said one unto
Him, LORD, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
"Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for
many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able. 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: Then shall ye
begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou
hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know
you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
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. And they shall come from
the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the
south, and shall down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there
are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall
be last." (Luke
13:23 - 30)
