Luke 13:25

Luke 13:25

23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there ^afew who are saved?” And He said to them,

24 ^a“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for ^bmany, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

25 ^aWhen once the Master of the house has risen up and ^bshut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ^c‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ^d‘I do not know you, where you are from,’

26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’

27 ^aBut He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. ^bDepart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’

28 ^aThere will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, ^bwhen you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 ^aAnd indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 13:24

Luke 13:26 >>

And even agonizing will not avail, after the door is shut. Agonize, therefore, now by faith, prayer, holiness, patience. And ye begin to stand without - Till then they had not thought of it! O how new will that sense of their misery be? How late? How lasting? I know not whence ye are - I know not, that is, I approve not of your ways.
