(26) Then you will answer, 'We ate and drank with you; you taught in our town!' (27) But he will say again, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!' (28) How you will cry and gnash your teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets (resurrected) in the Kingdom of God, while you are thrown out!

(26) Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' (27) But he will tell you, 'I don't know who you are. Get away from me, all you (workers of unrighteousness, or,) evil people.' (28) Then you will cry and be in extreme pain. That's what you'll do when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets. They'll be (resurrected) in the kingdom of God, but you'll be thrown out.

Get away from me, all YOU workers of unrighteousness!’ 28 There is where [YOUR] weeping and the gnashing of [YOUR] teeth will be, when YOU see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
