Luk 13:25 | TNotes | STEP | 13:25 When the master of the house has locked the door: At a banquet, the master of the household locked the door after the invited guests had arrived. • I don’t know you: In Scripture, knowing often means being chosen by God for a special relationship (Isa 63:16 ; Jer 1:5 ; Amos 3:2 ). The people of Israel were God’s chosen people who had descended from Abraham ( where you come from ), but those who failed to respond to the invitation did not have a relationship with God. The same can be said of all who fail to respond to the Good News of the Kingdom.
