Context of Luke 22:29
27Who’s the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn’t it really the person who sits at the table? But I’m among you as a servant. 28“You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me. So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I’m giving it to you. 30You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will also sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.” 31⌞Then the Lord said,⌟ “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks.
