Context of Luke 18:29

27Jesus replied, ‘God can do things that are impossible for people to do.’ 28Peter then said to Jesus, ‘Look! We have left everything that we had. Now we are your disciples.’ Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you this: Some people have left their homes. Or they may have left their wife or their brothers. Or they may have left their parents or their children. They have done this to work for the kingdom of God. 30Now, in this world, God will give these people many more things than they have left behind. And in the future world they will live for ever with God.’ 31Jesus took the 12 disciples away from the other people. ‘Listen!’ he said to them. ‘We are going to Jerusalem. There, many bad things will happen to me. All the things that God's prophets wrote down long ago about the Son of Man will now happen to me.
