Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Ver. 27. Behold, we have forsaken all, &c.] A great all, sure, a few broken boats, nets, household stuff (Retia, navigia, reculas, Pareus). And Christ maintained them too; and yet they ask, what shall we have? Neither is it without an emphasis, that they begin with a Behold. "Behold, we have forsaken all," as if Christ were therefore greatly beholden to them, and if the young man were promised treasure in heaven, doing so-and-so, then they might challenge it; they might say with the prodigal, "Give me the portion that pertains unto me."
