28 aPeter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.”

29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, athere is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,

30 1but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in 2the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in athe age to come, eternal life.

31 “But amany who are first will be last, and the last, first.”

Jesus’ Sufferings Foretold

32 aThey were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they bwere amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,

33 saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and athe Son of Man will be 1delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will 2hand Him over to the Gentiles.

34 “They will mock Him and aspit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”
