26

Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

27

But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from go away from me, you workers of evil.

28

There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

29

And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

And the last will be first, and the first will be last.
