28 “You are those who have continued with me in my trials; 29 and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you,* that he might sift you* like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren.”
