Context of Luke 22:30

28“You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me. 29So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I’m giving it to you. You 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.
