Matthew 19:30

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ^ayou who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 ^aAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother¹ or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

30 ^aBut many who are first will be last, and the last first.
