Christ passes through the villages

Saint Luke - Chapter 13

Jesus at Bethany, passing through the villages. J-J Tissot
[22] Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem.
And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.

[23] Ait autem illi quidam : Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos :
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:

[24] Contendite intrare per angustam portam : quia multi, dico vobis, quaerent intrare, et non poterunt.
Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.

[25] Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes : Domine, aperi nobis : et respondens dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis :
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.

[26] tunc incipietis dicere : Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

[27] Et dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis : discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

[28] Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium : cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

[29] Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
