Contextual Overview

²³ Someone said to Jesus, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" Jesus said, ²⁴ "Try hard to enter through the narrow door, because many people will try to enter there, but they will not be able. ²⁵ When the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside and knock on the door and say, ‘Sir, open the door for us.' But he will answer, ‘I don't know you or where you come from.' ²⁶ Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in the streets of our town.' ²⁷ But he will say to you, ‘I don't know you or where you come from. Go away from me, all you who do evil!' ²⁸ You will cry and grind your teeth with pain when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you yourselves thrown outside. ²⁹ People will come from the east, west, north, and south and will sit down at the table in the kingdom of God. ³⁰ There are those who are last now who will be first in the future. And there are those who are first now who will be last in the future."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And behold, there are last which shall be first,.... The Gentiles, the most mean and abject, afar from God, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, called last of all; these shall be first, and sit down among patriarchs and prophets, men of the first rank here on earth, in the kingdom of heaven, and enjoy the same glory and happiness with them:

and there are first which shall be last: the Jews, who were first the visible professing people of God, to whom the oracles of God, and outward privileges and ordinances were given; who had the Messiah first sent to them, and the Gospel first preached among them; these shall be last, be rejected and despised, and shut out of the kingdom of heaven, they thought themselves heirs of, and expected to enjoy; see Matthew 19:30.
