In this verse from Luke 13, Jesus tells a story where people are surprised and begin to claim they knew Him because they ate with Him and heard His teachings. But it's too late for them as they're not allowed in the kingdom of God.

儿童解释

Imagine if you invited friends over for dinner every day but one day told them they couldn't come inside your house anymore even though they'd been eating at your table all along. That’s a bit like what this verse is saying—some people will say, 'But we knew Him!' when it's too late.

历史背景

This passage was written by Luke, a doctor and historian who traveled with Paul. It was written around 60-80 AD for the early Christian community, emphasizing that mere familiarity with Jesus is not enough to enter heaven.
