فأجابَهُ يَسوعُ: «الحقّ أقولُ لكُم: ما مِنْ أحدٍ ترَكَ بَيتًا أو إخوَةً أو أخواتٍ أو أُمّا أو أبًا أو أولادًا أو حُقولاً مِنْ أجلي ومِنْ أجلِ البِشارَةِ،

What Does This Mean?

Jesus is talking about the sacrifices people make for him and his teachings. He says that no one who has given up family or possessions because of him will lose out in the end.

Explained for Children

Imagine you have a best friend, Jesus, and he asks you to give up your toys or even time with your parents so you can spend more time playing with him. Jesus is saying that if you do this, something really special will come back to you later.

Historical Background

This verse comes from the Gospel of Mark, written around 70 AD by an unknown author. The audience was early Christians, and it reflects a culture where family ties were very strong but sometimes had to be put aside for religious devotion.

Living It Out Today

A modern scenario could involve leaving a comfortable job with good pay to pursue a ministry or charity work that aligns more closely with Christian values. This verse reassures those who make such sacrifices about the rewards they will receive.
