Then you will begin to say, 1'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
27
But he will say, 'I tell you, 2I do not know where you come from. 3Depart from me, all you workers of evil!'
28
4In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see 5Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but 6you yourselves cast out.
29

Lament over Jerusalem
31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, "Get away from 10here, for 11Herod wants to kill you."
32
