Luke 22:28–30

22:28 “You are the ones who have remained69 with me in my trials. 22:29 Thus70 I grant71 to you a kingdom,72 just as my Father granted to me, 22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit73 on thrones judging74 the twelve tribes of Israel.

69	tn Or “continued” (L&N 34.3). Jesus acknowledges the disciples’ faithfulness.
70	tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the disciples’ perseverance with Jesus.
71	sn With the statement “I grant to you a kingdom” Jesus gave the disciples authority over the kingdom, as God had given him such authority. The present tense looks at authority given presently, though the major manifestation of its presence is yet to come as the next verse shows.
72	tn Or “I give you the right to rule” (cf. CEV). For this translation of διατίθεμαι βασιλείαν (diatithemai basileian) see L&N 37.105.
73	tn This verb is future indicative, and thus not subordinate to “grant” (διατίθεμαι, diatithemai) as part of the result clause beginning with ἵνα ἕσθητε (hina esthēte) at the beginning of v. 30. It is better understood as a predictive future.
74	sn The statement you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment.
