Luke 13:25–35

²⁵once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. ^aThen you will stand ^boutside 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, ^c‘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, ^dall you workers of unrighteousness!’ ²⁸There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ^ein that place, ^fwhen you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, ^gbut yourselves thrown out. ²⁹They will come from east and west, from north and south, and recline at the table ^hin the kingdom of God. ³⁰Note this: Some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” ⁱ

Jesus and Herod Antipas

³¹At that time some Pharisees came and told Him, “Go, get out of here! Herod ^jwants to kill You!” ^k

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 ^lI will complete My work.’ ^mn33Yet I must ^otravel today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet ^pto perish ^qoutside of Jerusalem!

Jesus’ Lamentation over Jerusalem

³⁴“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! ^rShe who kills the prophets and stones ^sthose who are sent to her. ^tHow often I wanted to gather your children ^utogether, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, ^vbut you were not willing! ^w35See, your house ^xis abandoned to you. ^yAnd I tell you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!” ^za
