“Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,”
King James Version (KJV)
13:21 Covered up - So that, for a time, nothing of it appeared.
13:24 Strive to enter in - Agonize. Strive as in an agony. So the word signifies Otherwise none shall enter in. Barely seeking will not avail. #Mt 7:13|.

O how new will that sense of their misery be? How late? How lasting? I know not whence ye are - I know not, that is, I approve not of your ways.
