But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

But many who are first will be last. And the last will be first.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

But many[ that are] first shall be last; and the last first.

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

“ So the last will be first, and the first last.”

Note this: Some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

The Pharisee was standing and praying like this about himself:‘ God, I thank you that I’m not like other people— greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’“ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying,‘ God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Which of the two did his father’s will?” They said,“ The first.” Jesus said to them,“ Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

I tell you that many will come from east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness— namely the righteousness that comes from faith.But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.Why is that? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.As it is written, Look, I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over and a rock to trip over, and the one who believes on him will not be put to shame.

Jesus replied to him,“ Simon, I have something to say to you.” He said,“ Say it, teacher.”“ A creditor had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.Since they could not pay it back, he graciously forgave them both. So, which of them will love him more?”Simon answered,“ I suppose the one he forgave more.”“ You have judged correctly,” he told him.Turning to the woman, he said to Simon,“ Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she, with her tears, has washed my feet and wiped them with her hair.You gave me no kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in.You didn’t anoint my head with olive oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”

( And when all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they acknowledged God’s way of righteousness, because they had been baptized with John’s baptism.But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

Paul and Barnabas boldly replied,“ It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first. Since you reject it and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, we are turning to the Gentiles.For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.”When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and honored the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed.
