Discovery BoxMatthew 19:28 
Context19:28 Jesus 1 said to them, “I tell you the truth: 2 In the age when all things are renewed, 3 when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging 4 the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 26:47
Context26:47 While he was still speaking, Judas, 5 one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
2 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
3 sn The Greek term translated the age when all things are renewed (παλιγγενεσία, palingenesia) is understood as a reference to the Messianic age, the time when all things are renewed and restored (cf. Rev 21:5).
4 sn The statement you…will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel looks at the future authority the Twelve will have when Jesus returns. They will share in Israel’s judgment.
5 tn Grk “behold, Judas.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
