Luke 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:29

And he said unto them

not only you shall have peculiar honour done you, as to sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel; but there is not a single person of a more private character,

that hath left house,
or "houses", as read the Syriac and Persic versions;

or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of
God's sake:
that is, for Christ's sake, and for the sake of his Gospel, as the other evangelists have it; and which teaches us how to understand the kingdom of God here, and elsewhere.
