2270. Verse 29. And he added yet to speak unto Him, and said, Peradventure forty shall be found there; and He said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. “He added yet to speak unto Him,” signifies thought; “and said, Peradventure forty shall be found there,” signifies those who have been in temptations; “and He said, I will not do it for forty’s sake,” signifies that they shall be saved.
