Context of Matthew 19:28

26And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 27Then Peter said to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?” And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last; and the 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. The regeneration, . Some refer this to the time in which the new heavens and the new…Read the comment

• 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! But men's earnestness in this matter is like their toiling to build a high wall to shut themselves and their children out of heaven. It should be satisfaction to those who are in a low condition, that they are not exposed to the temptations of a high and prosperous condition. If they live more hardly in this world than…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28You … will also sit on twelve thrones: The disciples will share in judging. 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). Judging can mean both ruling with authority and condemning for wrongdoing (see Revelation 20:4).Read the comment
