Luke 18:29
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30 will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
31 Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
