MARK 10:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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,”
Truly I tell you, Jesus replied, no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel — the list of what has been left is comprehensive: home, siblings, parents, children, and fields (property). Every category of human attachment and security that the kingdom call might displace is listed. For me and the gospel: the purpose of the leaving is the dual loyalty to Jesus and to the proclamation of the kingdom.
