* And one said to him , Lord , are there few who are saved ? And he said to them , * Strive to enter in by the narrow door : for many , I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), will seek to enter in , and will not be able . * When once the master of the house has risen up , and has shut to the door , and you (note :){+}(:note ) begin to stand outside , and to knock at the door , saying , Lord , Lord , open to us ; and he will answer and say to you {+}, I don 't know you {+} or where you {+} are from . * Then you (note :){+}(:note ) will begin to say , We ate and drank in your presence , and you taught in our streets ; * and he will speak , saying to you (note :){+}(:note ), I don 't know you {+} or where you {+} are from ; depart from me , all you {+} workers of iniquity . * Not everyone who says to me , Lord , Lord , will enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven . * Everyone therefore that hears these words of mine , and does them , will be likened to a wise man , who built his house on the rock : * and the rain descended , and the floods came , and the winds blew , and beat on that house ; and it did not fall : for it was founded on the rock . * And everyone who hears these words of mine , and does not do them , will be likened to a foolish man , who built his house on the sand : * and the rain descended , and the floods came , and the winds blew , and struck against that house ; and it fell : and great was its fall . * And I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), that many will come from the east and the west , and will sit down with Abraham , and Isaac , and Jacob , in the kingdom of heaven : * but the sons of the kingdom will be cast forth into the outer darkness : there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth . * In that very hour there came certain Pharisees , saying to him , Get out , and go from here : for Herod wants to kill you .
