Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 18:29

"And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God`s sake," — Luke 18:29 (ASV)

There is no man that has left . . .—There is possibly something characteristic in the omission of the “lands,” which we find in the other Gospels. To leave a “house” implied the breaking-up of the life of home and its relationships, but the companion of Paul and Barnabas might well have thought so little of parting with a “field,” as a simple possession (Acts 4:34), that the word hardly dwelt upon his memory as connected with the idea of a special and extraordinary sacrifice.

For the kingdom of God’s sake.—Note the freedom of reporting in the substitution of this phrase in the place of for My name’s sake, in St. Matthew, and for My sake and the gospel’s in St. Mark.
