Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
There is no man, etc.—graciously acknowledging at once the completeness and the acceptableness of the surrender as a thing already made.
house, etc.—The specification is still more minute in Matthew and Mark, (Matthew 19:27; Mark 10:29) to take in every form of self-sacrifice.

Lo, etc.—in the simplicity of his heart (as is evident from the reply), conscious that the required surrender had been made, and generously taking in his brethren with him—"we"; not in the spirit of the young ruler. "All these have I kept,"
left all—"The workmen's little is as much his "all" as the prince's much" [BENGEL]. In Matthew (Matthew 19:27) he adds, "What shall we have therefore?" How shall it fare with us?
