We first need to zoom out and observethe surrounding moments that frame this teaching.In Matthew 19, we encounter a rich young man who allows his wealth tokeep him from following Jesus.

As thedisciples contemplate this encounter, Peter says, "See, we have lefteverything and followed you. What then will we have?" (Matthew 19:27,TRANSLATION).
