Someone said to him. "Lord are only a few saved?" And he said to them. "Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because many I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able. For when the house-master is risen and he shuts the door and you are standing outside and begin to knock on the door saying "Lord open to us", he will say to you in answer. "I do know who you are or where you come from." Then you will begin to say "We ate and drank with you before and you taught in our streets." And he will say, telling

you "I do not know where you come from. Stand away from me those who are
unrighteousness." There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God. But you on the other hand are being thrust outside. And they will come from the east and west and from the north and south and will recline in the kingdom of God. And look, there are those who are last yet who will be first. There are those who are first who will be last."
