SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:29
Y vendrn otros del Oriente y del Occidente, del Norte y del Mediodía, y se sentarn a la mesa en el Reino de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 13:29
Verse 29. They shall come] That is, the Gentiles, in every part of the world, shall receive the Gospel of the grace of God, when the Jews shall have rejected it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And they shall come , etc.] From all parts the world, from every nation under the heavens; meaning the Gentiles, and which will be a greater aggravation of the punishment of the Jews, and cause still more rage and madness: these shall come from the east and from the west ; from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, ( Isaiah 45:6, Malachi 1:11) and from the north, and from the south ; from the most distant parts of the world inhabited by men; (see Isaiah 43:5,6). God has his chosen ones, and Christ has a people in all parts of the world; and therefore his Gospel must be preached to all nations, for the gathering of them in, which will be done in the latter day; and in the resurrection morn, as these will be raised in the several places where they will have been buried, they will come from thence, and make one body, and will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and will be for ever with him: and shall sit down in the kingdom of God ; in Christ's kingdom, in the new heavens, and new earth, as persons that sit down at a table, to partake of a feast; (see Luke 22:30) and in the ultimate glory, where they shall have rest, peace, and joy, for evermore. The Ethiopic version renders it, they shall rejoice in the kingdom of God; they shall partake of the joys of heaven; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away; and the Persic version, and they shall take a repose, and sit and rest; they shall rest from all their labour, and be in perfect ease and peace; (see Gill on Matthew 8:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-30 - Our Saviour came to guide men's consciences, not to gratify their curiosity. Ask not, How many shall be saved? But, Shall I be one of them? Not, What shall become of such and such? But, What shall I do and what will become of me? Strive to enter in at the strait gate. Thi is directed to each of us; it is, Strive ye. All that will be saved must enter in at the strait gate, must undergo a change of the whol man. Those that would enter in, must strive to enter. Here ar awakening considerations, to enforce this exhortation. Oh that we ma be all awakened by them! They answer the question, Are there few tha shall be saved? But let none despond either as to themselves or others for there are last who shall be first, and first who shall be last. I we reach heaven, we shall meet many there whom we little thought to meet, and miss many whom we expected to find.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:29 {Shall sit down} (anakliqesontai). Future passive indicative third plural. Recline, of course, is the figure of this heavenly banquet. Jesus does not mean that these will be saved in different ways, but only that many will come from all the four quarters of the earth.
