Luke 13:29-34 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

29. People will come from all directions and sit down to feast in God's kingdom.

30. There the ones who are now least important will be the most important, and those who are now most important will be least important.

32. Jesus said to them:Go and tell that fox, “I am going to force out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and three days later I'll have finished.”

33. But I am going on my way today and tomorrow and the next day. After all, Jerusalem is the place where prophets are killed.

34. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me.
