2270. Verse 29 And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Perhaps forty will be found there. And He said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty.

'He spoke to Him yet again' means thought. 'And said, Perhaps forty will be found there' means people who have undergone temptations. 'And He said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty' means that they will be saved.
