The Disciples’ Reward

²⁷ Then Peter responded and said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?” ²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the ^[a]regeneration when ^(D)the Son of Man will sit on ^[b]His glorious throne, ^(E)you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And ^(F)everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother ^[c]or children or farms on account of My name, will receive ^[d]many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. ^30 (G)But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.
