This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Every one (πᾶς)
Compare 2Ti 4:8, “to all them that love his appearing.” “Not only apostles, nor ought Peter to have inquired only concerning them” (Bengel). The promise hitherto restricted to the apostles now becomes general.
A hundred-fold (ἑκατονταπλασίονα)
But many very high authorities read πολλαπλασίονα, manifold. So Rev. in margin. Compare Mar 10:30, where there is added “houses and brethren,” etc. Also the Arabic proverb: “Purchase the next world with this; so shalt thou win both.”
