Luke 13:25–35

^25qWhen once the Master of the house has risen up and ^rshut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ^s‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ^t‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ ²⁶then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ ^27uBut He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. ^vDepart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ ^28wThere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, ^xwhen you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. ²⁹They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. ^30yAnd indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

Christ Mourns Over Jerusalem

³¹⁹On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.”

³²And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day ^zI shall be ¹perfected.’ ³³Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

^34a“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! ³⁵See! ^bYour house is left to you desolate; and ²assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ^c‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
