| But he shall say, &c.--(See on Mat 7:23). No nearness of external communion with Christ will avail at the great day, in place of that holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. Observe the style which Christ intimates that He will then assume, that of absolute Disposer of men's eternal destinies, and contrast it with His "despised and rejected" condition at that time. |

Sit down at table. Jesus casts his thought into a familiar Jewish image. According to the Jewish idea, one of the main elements of the happiness of the Messianic kingdom was the privilege of participating in splendid festive entertainments along with the patriarchs of the nation. With this accords Luk 13:30, in allusion to places at the banquet. Compare Luk 14:7-9; Mat 23:6. |

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
