Jesus traveled through towns and villages, teaching as he headed toward Jerusalem.

Someone asked him: 

“Lord, will only a few people be saved?”

And Jesus answered: 

“Do your best to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 

When once the master of the house has gone inside and locked the door, you will stand outside. Then you will knock on the door,” calling, ‘Lord, open to us!’ But he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 

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

But he will reply, ‘I don’t know where you come from. Away from me, all you workers of evil.’

You will cry and grind your teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are left outside. 

Others will sit at the table in the kingdom of God, coming from the east and west, from the north and south.

Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last!”
