Luke 13:24

The Narrow Door

²³ Someone asked him, Will only a few people be saved? Jesus answered them: ²⁴ “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. ²⁵ The master of the house will close the door. You stand outside and knock on the door and say: 'Open the door for us, sir!' He will answer: 'I do not know where you come from!'
