Luke 13:25-27
13:25 Once
the head of the house
gets up
and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, ‘Lord,
let us in!’
But he will answer you,
‘I don’t know where you come from.’
13:26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
13:27 But
he will reply,
‘I don’t know where you come from!
Go away from me, all you evildoers!’
