In context
22 Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
23 “Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
25 After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
