22 Jésus traversait les villes et les villages, enseignant, et faisant route vers Jérusalem.

23 Quelqu’un lui dit: Seigneur, n’y a-t-il que peu de gens qui soient sauvés? Il leur répondit:

24 Efforcez-vous d’entrer par la porte étroite. Car, je vous le dis, beaucoup chercheront à entrer, et ne le pourront pas.

25 Quand le maître de la maison se sera levé etaura fermé la porte, et que vous, étant dehors, vous commencerez à frapper à la porte, en disant: Seigneur, Seigneur, ouvre-nous! Il vous répondra: Je ne saisd’où vous êtes.

26 Alors vous vous mettrez à dire: Nous avons mangé et bu devant toi, et tu as enseigné dans nos rues.
