Luke 13:23

Contemporary English Version 1995

Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” Jesus answered:

See the chapter Copy

But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.

Many are invited, but only a few are chosen.

Jesus then said, “So it is. Everyone who is now last will be first, and everyone who is first will be last.”

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly surprised and asked, “How can anyone ever be saved?”

As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he taught the people in the towns and villages.

Do all you can to go in by the narrow door! A lot of people will try to get in, but will not be able to.
