Jesus said to them: truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The eschatological promise for the disciples: in the palingenesia (the new world, the renewal of all things), the twelve disciples who have followed Jesus will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The promise communicates the kingdom's inversion: those who gave up earthly status will receive extraordinary cosmic status in the age to come.
