According to Grotius1 the mentioning of the wife
is not repeated in the promise because this could lead to a slanderous misunderstanding. The question is, however, if this does not apply to children
as well. Since fathers
is also not repeated, it seems less correct to give special meaning to the abridgement of the list of verse 29 in verse 30.2
30 ne reçoive au centuple, présentement dans ce siècle-ci, des maisons, des frères, des sœurs, des mères, des enfants, et des terres, avec des persécutions, et, dans le siècle à venir, la vie éternelle.
