story immediately follows the Parable of the Mustard Seed, which shares this parable's theme of the Kingdom of Heaven growing from small beginnings. The narrow gate (verses 22-30) And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Luke reminds his readers of Jesus' journey, which was last mentioned in , and "of the urgency it proclaims, and the response it demands". He is asked whether there are only a few who are (or will be) saved, a question "peculiar to Luke", although the answer, that the gate is narrow, and "many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able", is also recorded in Matthew 7:13. Jesus laments over Jerusalem (verses 31-35) Jesus confirms that he must continue to Jerusalem. Both here, on the journey, and at when the city is in sight, Jesus contemplates the significance and fate of Jerusalem, the holy city.
