MATTHEW 19:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.”
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. The promise extended beyond the twelve: everyone who has left family or property for the sake of Jesus' name receives a hundredfold in return and inherits eternal life. The hundredfold echoes the good-soil harvest of Matthew 13:8: the sacrifice of the present age produces the super-abundant harvest of the kingdom.
