Context of Matthew 19:28
26But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 27Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us? And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. 30But many first shall be last, and last first.

Commentaries on Matthew 19:28
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28Ye which have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, etc. - The punctuation which I have observed here, is that which is followed by the most eminent critics: the regeneration is thus referred to the time when Jesus shall sit on the throne of his glory, and not to the time of following him, which is utterly improper.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-30Verses 23-30 Though Christ spoke so strongly, few that have riches do not trust in them. How few that are poor are not tempted to envy!

If they live more hardly in this world than…Read the comment

This is a reversal, where those who are rich and powerful now will be judged by those who are humble and poor (see Matthew 19:30).
