Mark 10:28 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:28

Then Peter began to say unto him
only observing that Christ promised treasure in heaven to the young man, provided he sold all that he had, and gave it to the poor; but being, in some measure, freed from that surprise and astonishment, which had seized him, and his fellow disciples, at the representation of the difficulty of a rich man's entering into the kingdom of God, by the last words; and taking heart from thence, began to take notice of the following case, as an instance and illustration of what Christ had said; for that same power, which had caused them to quit all their worldly substance for Christ, though it was but small, could also work a like effect upon the heart of a man ever so rich:

lo! we have left all, and have followed thee:
in Matthew it is added, "what shall we have therefore?" (See Gill on Matthew 19:27).

Mark 10:28 In-Context

26 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

27 And Jesus, looking upon them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."

28 Then Peter began to say unto Him, "Lo, we have left all and have followed Thee."

29 And Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for My sake and the Gospel's,

30 but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come, eternal life.
