Luke 13:24-27 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 13:23-30

We have here, I. A question put to our Lord Jesus. Who it was that put it we are not told, whether a friend or a foe; for he both gave a great liberty of questioning him and returned answers to the thoughts and intents of the heart. The question was, Are there few that are saved? Luke 13:23: ei oligoi hoi sozomenoi??If the saved be few? Master, I have heard thou shouldest say so; is it true?? 1. Perhaps it was a captious question. He put it to him, tempting him, with a design to ensnare him... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 13:22-30

13:22-30 Jesus continued to go through towns and villages, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem. "Lord," someone said to him, "are those who are to be saved few in number?" He said to them, "Keep on striving to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able to. Once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and when you begin to stand outside and knock, saying, 'Lord, open to us,' he will answer you, 'I do not know where you... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:24

Strive to enter in at the strait gate ,.... What is meant by the strait gate, and by entering in at it; see Gill on Matthew 7:13 . To "strive", is to be diligent in the use of means; to search the Scriptures with care; to attend on the preaching of the word with constancy, neglecting no opportunity; to pray earnestly for spiritual light, knowledge, and grace; to contend with every enemy that opposes the salvation of the soul, as sin, Satan, and the world; to bear all reproaches and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:25

When once the master of the house is risen up ,.... From table, or off of his couch, the entertainment being over: and so here, the Gospel feast, or dispensation, being at an end, and all the guests come in, who were effectually called, and long patience and forbearance being used towards others; or has entered in, as the Vulgate Latin version reads, and so Beza's ancient copy, and one of Stephens's; is come from the wedding; see Luke 12:36 Christ having espoused all his elect to himself,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:26

Then shall ye begin to say ,.... Or ye shall say; in favour of themselves, and in order to be admitted within, the following pleas will be made by them: we have eaten and drank in thy presence : which may be understood both literally of many, who were miraculously led by Christ, or at whose tables he had ate and drank, and they with him; as did not only publicans and sinners, but some of the Pharisees, who invited him to their houses; and in a religious sense, of many who eat of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 13:27

But he shall say , &c.; The Persic version adds, "be gone from my sight, and be far from my door"; expressing indignation at them, an abhorrence of them, as not being able to bear them in his sight, or near unto him: I tell you, I know you not whence you are ; this is repeated, and with a strong asseveration, to denote the certainty of the truth expressed, and to cast off all hope in them, of ever succeeding by their entreaties and importunity: depart from me, all ye workers of... read more

Many - will seek - They seek - wish and desire; but they do not strive; therefore, because they will not agonize - will not be in earnest, they shall not get in. See this subject more particularly explained on Matthew 7:13 , Matthew 7:14 ; (note). read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:24

Verse 24 24.For many will seek to enter This was added, that we might not be deceived by a vain hope, as if the multitude of our companions would be of any avail to us. The flesh is willing to flatter itself, and many who now give themselves every indulgence, promise to themselves an easy entrance into life. Thus men practice mutual deception on each other, and fall asleep in wicked indifference. To shake off from his own people those flattering hopes, Christ declares that those who calculate... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 13:25

Verse 25 Luke 13:25.And when the master of the house shall have arisen Though these words, as I hinted a little before, were spoken on a different and later occasion, I have chosen to pay more regard to the doctrine than to the time: for it is no slight assistance to the understanding to read, in immediate connection, those passages which are closely related in meaning. As Christ had declared that to many, who shall desire to enter into heaven, the door will not be open, he now asserts, that... read more
