26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but awith God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, awe have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
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.
