Luke 13:17-30

¹⁷When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.

¹⁸Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?

¹⁹It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

²⁰Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?

²¹It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”

²²Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.

²³“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,

²⁴“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.

²⁵After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

²⁶Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

²⁷And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’

²⁸There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.

²⁹People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

³⁰And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
