 ነገር ግን እናንተ በፈተናዎቼ ከእኔ ጋር ጸንታችሁ የኖራችሁ ናችሁ፤ አባቴ እኔን እንደ ሾመኝ እኔ ደግሞ በመንግሥቴ ከማዕዴ ትበሉና ትጠጡ ዘንድ፥ በአሥራ ሁለቱ በእስራኤል ነገድ ስትፈርዱ በዙፋኖች ትቀመጡ ዘንድ ለመንግሥት እሾማችኋለሁ" (ሉቃ 22፡24-30) ።
"You are those who have stayed with me in my trials, and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
