23. That the Gentiles rather than the Jews attain to the kingdom of heaven. In the Gospel the Lord says: “Many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall lie down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; but the children of the kingdom shall go out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 3925 3925     Matt. viii. 11, 12 .
