LUKE 13:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”
Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last — the great reversal that closes the narrow-door sequence repeats the discipleship teaching's organizing principle. Those who assumed they were first (Israel's religious leadership, those who ate and drank with Jesus without personal knowledge of him) find themselves last, while those assumed to be last (tax collectors, sinners, Gentiles from the nations) find themselves first.
