In the context of <a href="/luke/13.htm">Luke 13</a>, Jesus is addressing the issue of who will enter the kingdom of God. The use of "he will answer" suggests a future event, pointing to the final judgment. This aligns with other biblical passages where Jesus speaks of separating the righteous from the unrighteous (<a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>).‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Here, Jesus is making a definitive statement about His relationship with those He is addressing. The phrase "I do not know where you are from" implies a lack of recognition or relationship. In biblical terms, to "know" someone often implies an intimate relationship (<a href="/genesis/4.htm">Genesis 4:1</a>). This echoes <a href="/matthew/7-23.htm">Matthew 7:23</a>, where Jesus says, "I never knew you," highlighting the importance of a genuine relationship with Christ rather than mere association or knowledge of Him.Depart from me This command signifies a separation from Jesus, which is the ultimate consequence for those who are not in a true relationship with Him. The idea of being cast out or separated is a recurring theme in Scripture, often associated with judgment and exclusion from God's presence (<a href="/matthew/25-41.htm">Matthew 25:41</a>). It underscores the seriousness of not being known by Christ.all you evildoers. The term "evildoers" refers to those who practice iniquity or lawlessness. In the cultural and historical context of Jesus' time, this would include those who outwardly appeared religious but whose hearts were far from God. This phrase connects to <a href="/psalms/6-8.htm">Psalm 6:8</a>, where David speaks against those who do evil. It serves as a warning that mere outward appearances or actions are insufficient without true repentance and faith.
