It says that "everyone" who "hath forsaken" his relatives and possessions for Christ will have two things: hundredfold return and "everlasting life". Because they are tow things, there is an "and" joining the two. That is what Matthew 19:29 says.

Go over to the Gospel of Mark 10:29-30, and read a little more detail on that topic from Jesus:

Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

Gamecock has quite a collection of bizarre Catholic comments on his profile page, as well.

Mark 10:29-30

I don't remember what the original dispute was, really. Both Matthew 19:29 and Mark 10:29-30 teach the same thing: that it is by self-denial that we gain life eternal.
