New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
22And He was passing through one city and village after another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23And someone said to Him, 'Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?' And He said to them, 24Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26Then you will begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’King James Version
Chapter 13
22And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When 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: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.Christian Standard Bible

22He went through one town and village after another, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23"Lord," someone asked him, "are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them,
24"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because I tell you, many will try to enter and won’t be able
25once the homeowner gets up and shuts the door. Then you will stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up for us!’ He will answer you, ‘I don’t know you or where you’re from.’
26Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
New Living Translation
23Someone asked him, 'Lord, will only a few be saved?' He replied,
24Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.
25When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
