Luke 13:25

German Interlinear 1979 (Interlinearübersetzung)

Sobald aufgestanden ist der Hausherr und verschlossen hat die Tür und ihr anfangt, draußen zu stehen und zu klopfen an die Tür, sagend: Herr, öffne uns!, und antwortend wird er sagen zu euch: Nicht weiß ich von euch, woher ihr seid.

Was bedeutet das?

This verse from Luke describes a situation where the master of a house closes and locks his door, leaving some people outside who then beg to be let in. However, the master says he doesn't know them and refuses entry. This illustrates that those excluded were not faithful followers.
