25When 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:
26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28There 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.

Commentary
Luke 13 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of repentance and the consequences of not doing so. Jesus begins by warning the people of Jerusalem that they must repent or they will perish. He then tells a parable about a fig tree that has not produced fruit for three years. The owner of the tree wants to cut it down, but the gardener pleads for it to be given one more year to bear fruit. Jesus uses this parable to illustrate the importance of repentance and the consequences of not doing so.
