Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
Then Peter said - in the simplicity of his heart, as is evident from our Lord's reply,
Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. He was conscious that the required surrender, which that young ruler had not been able to make, had been made, not only by himself but by his brethren along with him, whom he generously takes in - "we have left all." Little, indeed, was Peter's "all." But, as Bengel says, the workman's little is as much to him as the prince's much. In Matthew's narrative Peter adds, "What shall we have therefore?" How shall it fare with us?
