Luke 13:21-31

21 ¹It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in ²three measures of flour, until it was ³all leavened."

The Narrow Door

22 ⁴He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and ⁵journeying toward Jerusalem.

23 And someone said to him, "Lord, ⁶will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them,

24 ⁷"Strive ⁸to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

25 ⁹When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ¹⁰'Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, ¹¹'I do not know where you come from.'

26 Then you will begin to say, ¹²'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

27 But he will say, 'I tell you, ¹³I do not know where you come from. ¹⁴Depart from me, all you workers of evil!'

28 ¹⁵In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see ¹⁶Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but ¹⁷you yourselves cast out.

29 And ¹⁸people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and ¹⁹recline at table in the kingdom of God.

30 And behold, ²⁰some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from ²¹here, for ²²Herod wants to kill you."
