who will not receive in this age ¹  a hundred times as much – homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions ²  – and in the age to come, eternal life. ³ 

A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers ¹  are outside looking for you.”
