Luke 13:25
Compare all
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.

Luke 13:25

master of the house is risen up and hath shut to the door—awfully sublime and vivid picture! At present he is represented as in a sitting posture, as if calmly looking on to see who will "strive," while entrance is practicable, and who will merely "seek" to enter in. But this is to have an end, by the great Master of the house Himself rising and shutting the door, after which there will be no admittance.

Lord, Lord—emphatic reduplication, expressive of the earnestness now felt, but too late. (See on Matthew 7:21-22).
