Luke 18:30
28 “Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
29 “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
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.
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
