## Luke 13:24-30 in Context (Verses 21–33 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/luke/13/21) It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/luke/13/22) And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/luke/13/23) Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
 
 [24 ](/kjv/luke/13/24) ¶ Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/luke/13/25) When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
 
 [26 ](/kjv/luke/13/26) Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/luke/13/27) But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all *ye* workers of iniquity.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/luke/13/28) There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you *yourselves* thrust out.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/luke/13/29) And they shall come from the east, and *from* the west, and from the north, and *from* the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/luke/13/30) And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/luke/13/31) ¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/luke/13/32) And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third *day* I shall be perfected.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/luke/13/33) Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the *day* following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
 
[Luke 12](/kjv/luke/12) [Luke 14](/kjv/luke/14)
