LUKE 13:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:”
I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord — the citation of Psalm 118:26, the pilgrim-welcome psalm of the great hallel, anticipates both the triumphal entry's crowd acclamation (19:38) and the ultimate eschatological recognition. The lament is not Jesus' final word but his penultimate one: the city will eventually say what it currently refuses to say, and the shepherd will gather the chicks the hen longed to shelter.
