Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
In context
24“Struggle to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25Once the owner of the house has got up and shut the door, you will be left standing outside, knocking at the door and saying, ‘Lord, open to us!’ And he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27And he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you come from. Get away from me, all you workers of injustice.’ 28There will be weeping and grinding of teeth there, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrown outside.
