Scripture focus

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Matthew 20:16 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Last shall be first. See on chs. 19:30; 20:1.

Many be called. See on ch. 22:14. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) the omission of these words and the remainder of the verse.
