Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed you; what shall we have therefore?
All Commentaries on Matthew 19:27 Go To Matthew 19
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
Even though it seems that Peter had not forsaken very much, as he was poor, understand that in actuality he, too, forsook much. For the fewer possessions we humans have, the greater the attachment. But Peter also rejected every worldly pleasure, even natural affection for his parents. For these passions war against the poor as well as the rich. What then does the Lord answer?
