Matthew 7:23

“Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.”

Verse in context — Matthew 7

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?

Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.

Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Jesus as the promised Messiah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy.
