Bible Question: I am having dificulty reconciling the last part (For many are called, but few are chosen) to the rest of the text. i understand the parable, but do not see how this fits. Thanks |
Bible Answer: gracefull I think others have had the same problem and therefore question if it was in the original. That plus the fact that many manuscripts do not contain 'many are called and few are chosen'is probably the reason the translators of the NASB did not include that passage in their translation. First part of the verse is found three other places without the ending. Matthew 19:30; Mark 10:31; Luke 13:30 However Matthew 22:14 is verse that reads, "Many are called but few are chosen." EdB |
