Luke 18:29

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.

for the kingdom of God's sake—in Mark (Mark 10:29), "for MY sake and the Gospel's." See on Luke 6:22.



Luke 18:28-30

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?
