Matthieu 19:27 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:27

Then answered Peter and said unto him
Peter observing what Christ said to the young man, bidding him sell all that he had, and give to the poor, and he should have treasure in heaven, and come and follow him, lays hold on it, and addresses him in the following manner,

behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee.
Though their worldly substance was not so large as the young man's, they had not such estates to sell, nor that to give to the poor, he had; yet all that they had they left for Christ's sake, their parents, wives, children, houses, and worldly employments, by which they supported themselves and families; and became the disciples and followers of Christ, embraced his doctrines, submitted to his commands, imitated him in the exercise of grace, and discharge of duty, denying themselves, and suffering many hardships on his account: wherefore it is asked,

what shall we have therefore?
what reward for all this? what part in the Messiah's kingdom? or what treasure in heaven?

Matthieu 19:27 In-Context

25 Les disciples, ayant entendu cela, furent très étonnés, et dirent: Qui peut donc être sauvé?

26 Jésus les regarda, et leur dit: Aux hommes cela est impossible, mais à Dieu tout est possible.

27 Pierre, prenant alors la parole, lui dit: Voici, nous avons tout quitté, et nous t'avons suivi; qu'en sera-t-il pour nous?

28 Jésus leur répondit: Je vous le dis en vérité, quand le Fils de l'homme, au renouvellement de toutes choses, sera assis sur le trône de sa gloire, vous qui m'avez suivi, vous serez de même assis sur douze trônes, et vous jugerez les douze tribus d'Israël.

29 Et quiconque aura quitté, à cause de mon nom, ses frères, ou ses soeurs, ou son père, ou sa mère, ou sa femme, ou ses enfants, ou ses terres, ou ses maisons, recevra le centuple, et héritera la vie éternelle.
