Mat 19:29 And every one that has forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

There is a contrast in the original Greek here that is lost in English. What is translated as "eternal life" can also mean "perpetual property" as well as "life for an age." So, in giving up everything, you get everything.

In is also interesting that the word translated as "receive" is more often used in Greek to mean, "take."

Alternative version: And every one who passes by houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for the sake of my reputation, shall take a hundred times as much, and shall become heir to [my] perpetual property.

"Forsaken" is from aphiêmi, which means "to let fall," "to send away," "to let loose," "to get rid of," "to leave alone," "to pass by," "to permit," and "to send forth from oneself." This is the same word that is translated as "leave" and "forgive" in the New Testament.

"House" is oikia, which means "house," "building," and "household." It was also the term that was used to describe a family or clan and the people associated with that family or clan, such as their servants and slaves.

"Name" is from onoma, which means "name." It means both the reputation of "fame," but it also means "a name and nothing else," as opposed to a real person.

"Sake" is from heneka, which means "on account of," "as far as regards," "in consequence of," and "because."

"Shall recieve" is from lambanô, which means "to take," "to seize," "to catch," "to apprehend with the senses," "to receive," "to accept," and "to conceive."

"Inherit" is from klêronomeô, which means "inherit," "acquire," and "to be an heir."

"Everlasting" is from aiônios, which means "lasting for an age," "perpetual," and "eternal."

"Life" is from zoê, which means "living," "substance," "property," "existence," and, incidentally, "the scum on milk." It has the sense of how we say "make a living" to mean property. Homer used it more to mean the opposite of death.
