Luke 18:30

Context
18:30 who will not receive many times more 1  in this age 2  – and in the age to come, eternal life.” 3 

1 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.

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

3 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).
