Study Note
The call to 'strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able' applies athletic imagery ('agōnizesthe,' from which English 'agonize' derives) to the demand of genuine discipleship. The 'strait gate' (narrow gate, stenos) implies a costly, deliberate choice requiring more than passive religious affiliation or casual association with Jesus. The statement that 'many will seek to enter and not be able' has generated significant theological debate: does it imply the eventual frustration of genuine but belated desire, or the failure of superficial half-hearted seeking? The parallel passage in Matthew 7:13-14 presents the same imagery as a binary road choice rather than a door, suggesting independent traditions of a common dominical saying on the cost and urgency of entrance into the kingdom.
