Exegesis
A coordinated series of direct objects follows—oikias {οἰκίας | oi-kí-as}, adelphous {ἀδελφούς | a-del-phoús}, adelphas {ἀδελφάς | a-del-phás}, patera {πατέρα | pa-té-ra}, mētera {μητέρα | mḗ-te-ra}, gynaika {γυναῖκα | gy-naî-ka}, tekna {τέκνα | ték-na}, agrous {ἀγρούς | a-groús}—each linked by the disjunctive particle ē {ἤ | ē}, which emphasizes the breadth of possible losses in both family and property domains.
In context — Matthew 19:29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life .
