This indicates a response to a preceding statement or question. In the context ofMark 10, Jesus is responding to Peter, who has just remarked on the sacrifices the disciples have made to follow Him. This interaction highlights the personal and direct communication between Jesus and His disciples, emphasizing His role as a teacher and leader. “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields
This list represents the significant sacrifices that followers of Jesus might make. In the first-century Jewish context, family and land were central to one's identity and security. Leaving these behind would be a profound act of devotion and trust in Jesus. The mention of "fields" also indicates economic sacrifice, as land was a primary source of livelihood. for My sake and for the gospel
This phrase clarifies the motivation behind the sacrifices. It is not merely about leaving behind worldly attachments but doing so for the sake of Jesus and the proclamation of the gospel. This underscores the call to prioritize spiritual commitments over earthly ties. The gospel, meaning "good news," refers to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, a central theme in the New Testament. This call to sacrifice for the gospel echoes the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the call to take up one's cross (Mark 8:34). Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure in this passage, Jesus is addressing His disciples, teaching them about the cost and rewards of discipleship. 2.

Teaching Points The Cost of DiscipleshipFollowing Jesus may require significant personal and material sacrifices. Believers are called to prioritize their relationship with Christ above all else. Eternal PerspectiveSacrifices made for the sake of the gospel are not in vain. Jesus promises rewards that far surpass any earthly loss, encouraging believers to maintain an eternal perspective. Faith and TrustTrusting in Jesus involves faith that He will provide and care for those who sacrifice for His sake. This trust is foundational to a life of discipleship. Community and SupportThe church community can become a new family for those who have left their biological families for the gospel, providing support and fellowship. Motivation for SacrificeThe motivation for leaving behind family and possessions should be love for Jesus and commitment to the gospel, not personal gain or recognition.

How many blind men did Jesus heal near Jericho? (Matthew 20:30 vs. Mark 10:46)
Who was the tenth disciple of Jesus in the list of twelve? Thaddaeus (Matthew 10: 1-4; Mark 3:13 -19) Judas son of James is the corresponding name in Lukes gospel (Luke 6:12-16)(29) Verily I say unto you.--St. Mark, possibly as writing for Gentile converts, omits the special promise to the Twelve, that they should "sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" ( Matthew 19:28). Verse 29. - St. Matthew ( Matthew 19:28) here introduces the great promise, to be fulfilled in the regeneration, that is, at the second coming of Christ - at the second birth of the world to a new and glorious state. It may be that St. Matthew was guided to record it, inasmuch as his Gospel was written for Jews. Its omission by St. Mark and St. Luke may be explained by the fact that they were writing, the one to Romans, and the other to Gentiles generally. Omitting further notice here of this great promise recorded only by St. Matthew, St. Mark's words seem general, common to all faithful Christians. This leaving, of house, or brethren, or sisters, etc., might be rendered necessary from various causes. But they are all covered by that one expression, for my sake, and for the gospel's.
