Luke 13:25-27
25Once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from.’ 26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27And he will speak, saying to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of unrighteousness!’
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many miracles?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.’
