Luke 13:29

The kingdom of GodThe stranger and outcastFellowship and the church

27 And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart 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 are thrown out.

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

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

31 At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
