er in by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, shall seek to
enter in, and shall not be able. [13:25] When the householder has risen
and shut the door, and you stand without and knock at the door, saying,
Lord, open to us, and he will answer and say to you, I know you not
whence you are, [13:26]then you will say, We eat and drank in your
presence, and you have taught in our streets; [13:27]and he will say to
you, I know not whence you are; depart from me, all doers of
wickedness. [13:28] There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when
you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in
the kingdom of God, and you cast out. [13:29]And they shall come from
the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall recline in
the kingdom of God. [13:30]And behold, there are last who shall be
first, and there are first who shall be last.

[performing] cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall
finish my course. [13:33]But I must go on to-day and to-morrow, and the
day following; for it is not possible for a prophet to be destroyed out
of Jerusalem. [13:34]Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and
stoning those sent to her, how often would I have gathered your
children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you
would not! [13:35]Behold, your house is left to you. And I tell you,
that you shall not see me, till [the day] shall come when you shall
say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

CHRIST DINING WITH A RULER ON THE SABBATH, THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT
SUPPER, QUALIFICATIONS FOR DISCIPLESHIP.
1 [14:1]AND he came into the house of one of the rulers of the
Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath; and they watched him closely.
[14:2]And behold, there was a man before him having the dropsy.
[14:3]And Jesus answered and said to the lawyers and Pharisees, Is it
lawful to cure on the sabbath, or not? [14:4]And they were silent. And
he took and cured him, and dismissed him. [14:5]And he answered and
said to them, If a son or an ox of any of you shall fall into a pit,
will he not immediately take him out on the sabbath day? [14:6]And they
could not answer to these things.
