Exegesis
The repetition of the infinitive eiselthein after zētēsousin balances attempted entry with ultimate inability, highlighted by the negation ouk {οὐκ | ouk} preceding ischysousin. English translations mirror this by preserving the imperative + infinitive of purpose and the causal explanation with parallel future actions.
In context — Luke 13:24
