Context of Mark 10:29
27Jesus looked at them and he replied, ‘For people, it really is impossible. But God can do it. God can do everything.’ 28Peter said to Jesus, ‘Look! We have left everything that we had. Now we are your disciples.’ Jesus said, ‘I tell you this: Some people have left their homes. Or they may have left their brothers or sisters. Or they may have left their mother or their father. Or they may have left their children or their fields. They have done that because of me. And they have done it because of God's good news. 30Now, in this world, God will give those people many more things than they have left behind, even 100 times more! Yes, they will receive houses and brothers and sisters. They will receive mothers and children and fields. As well as all this, people will be against them. But in the future world, they will live for ever with God. 31But many people who are very important now will not be important then. And people who are not important now will become very important then.’
