Luke 18:30

18:30 who will not receive many times more in this age – and in the age to come, eternal life.”


sn Jesus reassures his disciples with a promise that (1) much benefit in this life (many times more) and (2) eternal life in the age to come will be given.

tn Grk “this time” (καιρός, kairos), but for stylistic reasons this has been translated “this age” here.

sn Note that Luke (see also Matt 19:29; Mark 10:30; Luke 10:25) portrays eternal life as something one receives in the age to come, unlike John, who emphasizes the possibility of receiving eternal life in the present (John 5:24).
