Context of Luke 18:29

27Jesus said, “The things that are impossible for people to do are possible for God to do.” 28Then Peter said, “We’ve left everything to follow you.” Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, wife, brothers, parents, or children because of God’s kingdom 30will certainly receive many times as much in this life and will receive eternal life in the world to come.” 31Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said to them, “We’re going to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true.
