What Does Mark 10:29 Mean?
With Verily I say unto you, Jesus answers Peter by blessing every such renunciation. He names the dearest things a person can lose: house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, lands. The motive is what marks them: for my sake, and the gospel's.
Jesus binds himself to the good news, so that whatever is given up for the gospel is given up for him, and he keeps the accounts himself. Nothing surrendered for his sake is ever lost track of. The Lord remembers every empty place left behind for his name.
