Exegesis
The verse begins with the article ho {ὁ | ho} functioning as a pronominal subject with de {δὲ | dè}, yielding the narrative transition “But He.”
The series of accusative objects—oikian, gunaika, adelphous, gôneis, tekna {οἰκίαν, γυναῖκα, ἀδελφοὺς, γονεῖς, τέκνα | oi-kí-an, gu-nai-ka, a-del-phoús, go-neîs, ték-na}—are coordinated by repeated ē {ἢ | ē} “or,” creating a rhythmic list of significant relational and material ties.
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 .”
