Study Lenses

The verse centers on "iesus", "answered", "sayd", "verely", "vnto", "hath", "forsaken", and "house". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "iesus" and "answered", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 28's "Then Peter began to say vnto him..." into verse 30's "But he shall receiue an hundred folde...", so "iesus" and "answered" belong inside that flow. In Mark context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "iesus" and "answered" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
