Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 22:30

30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

These Verses seem to contain (tho in a few more Words) the substance of what we met with, Matth. 19.28. There they are spoken as an answer to Peter, speaking on the behalf of himself, and the rest of the Apostles, who had forsaken all to follow Christ. Christ tells them there, that those which had followed him in the Regeneration, when the Son of Man should sit on the Throne of his Glory, should sit upon twelve Thrones, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. That time which our Lord there calleth the Regeneration, is the time, when he had been giving a new Birth to the Church, Reforming the World by his Doctrine and holy Example. That time he here calleth the time of his Temptation, by which he meaneth Tryals, Afflictions and Persecutions, as the Word is often taken in holy Writ, Iames 1.12. Gal. 4.14. 2 Pet. 2.9. Rev. 3.10. To those of the Disciples (they were eleven of the twelve) he promiseth a Kingdom, a State of great Honour, and Dignity, as his Father had appointed him, and therefore they might satisfy themselveswith the Titles and qualities, of Ministers and Servants while they were here, and be content to meet with Troubles and Temptations, as he had done, to Hunger and Thirst, &c. when that time came which he had appointed, they should then Eat and Drink at his Table, they should sit also upon Thrones, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. Terms expressive of that Rest and Satisfaction, that Glory, Honour, and Dignity, which the Saints in God shall in Heaven be possessed of.
