On one occasion after correcting the apostles because they argued about who seemed to be the greatest, Jesus added: “However, you are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ”
Kord, kui Jeesus parandas apostleid, kuna nad vaidlesid selle üle, kes neist on suurim, ütles ta: ” Aga teie olete need, kes minu juurde on jäänud mu kiusatustes; ja mina sean teile riigi, nõnda nagu minu Isa selle mulle on seadnud, et te sööksite ja jooksite minu lauas minu riigis ja istuksite aujärgedel ja mõistaksite kohut Iisraeli kaheteistkümne suguharu üle! ”.
