Luc 13:28

28 Là seront les pleurs et les grincements de dents, quand vous verrez Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob et tous les prophètes dans le royaume de Dieu, et que vous serez jetés dehors.

Luc 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 13:28

There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
(See Gill on Matthew 8:12). This will be upon hearing the above sentence and character, "depart from me" and will be increased,

when ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:
whose offspring they were, and to whom they stood related according to the flesh; and of descent, from whom they boasted, and even trusted in it, thinking themselves the favourites of heaven, and expecting to be admitted into the kingdom of God, on account of it: sad will be the disappointment of such persons; a being born of religious parents, will neither give right unto, nor meetness for eternal glory; regeneration is not of blood:

and all the prophets in the kingdom of God;
whose prophecies were transmitted to them, and whose books they had in their hands, and read; and who desired to see and hear what they did, and which they now plead, and yet they did not enjoy, but were nevertheless happy: and

you [yourselves] thrust out:
with indignation and contempt, with shame and "ignominy", as the Persic version adds; not suffered to go in with them, though their sons and successors; but bid to depart, and ordered to be for ever separated from them, as only fit company for devils and damned spirits.

Luc 13:28 In-Context

26 Alors vous direz: Nous avons mangé et bu en ta présence, et tu as enseigné dans nos places publiques.
27 Et il répondra: Je vous dis que je ne sais d'où vous êtes; retirez-vous de moi, vous tous qui faites métier de l'iniquité.
28 Là seront les pleurs et les grincements de dents, quand vous verrez Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob et tous les prophètes dans le royaume de Dieu, et que vous serez jetés dehors.
29 Et il en viendra d'orient et d'occident, du septentrion et du midi, qui seront à table dans le royaume de Dieu.
30 Et voici, il en est des derniers qui seront les premiers, et des premiers qui seront les derniers.
