Luke 13:25–35

²⁵once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door.^f Then you will stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up for us!’ He will answer you, ‘I don’t know you or where you’re from.’ ²⁶Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ ²⁷But he will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you’re from. Get away from me,^g all you evildoers!’ ²⁸There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth^h in that place,ⁱ when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God,^j but yourselves thrown out. ²⁹They will come from east and west, from north and south, to share the banquet^D in the kingdom of God. ³⁰Note this: Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”^k

JESUS AND HEROD ANTIPAS

³¹At that time some Pharisees came and told him, “Go, get out of here. Herod^l wants to kill you.”^m

³²He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’^{En 33}Yet it is necessary that I^o travel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet^p to perish^q outside of Jerusalem.

JESUS’S LAMENTATION OVER JERUSALEM

³⁴“Jerusalem, Jerusalem,^r who kills the prophets and stones^s those who are sent to her.^t How often I wanted to gather your children^u together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,^v but you were not willing!^{w 35}See, your house is abandoned to you.^x I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when^F you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’!”^Gy
