Luke 13:27-35 New English Translation (NET)

27. But he will reply, ‘I don’t know where you come from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’

28. There 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 thrown out.

29. Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.

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

31. At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, “Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you.”

32. But he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.

33. Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it is impossible that a prophet should be killed outside Jerusalem.’

34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

35. Look, your house is forsaken! And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
