Exegesis
Within this clause, the sequence oudeis estin hos {οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς | ou-dé-is é-stin hós} forms a universal negative construction: “there is no one who…,” with estin serving as an explicit copula and hos as a relative pronoun linking to the verb aphēken {ἀφῆκεν | a-phê-ken}. The aorist aphēken conveys a decisive, completed act of leaving.
In context — Luke 18:29
But He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God .”
