Gospel: Luke 13:22-30

²² He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
²³ And some one said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them,
²⁴ ”Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
²⁵ When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, `Lord, open to us.’ He will answer you, `I do not know where you come from.’
²⁶ Then you will begin to say, `We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
<sup>27</sup> But he will say, `I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
²⁸ There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.
²⁹ And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God.
³⁰ And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
