28. But you are those who have remained with me during my trials.
29. And I dispose to you, just as my Father has disposed to me, a kingdom,
30. so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and so that you may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
31. And the Lord said: "Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, so that he may sift you like wheat.
32. But I have prayed for you, so that your faith may not fail, and so that you, once converted, may confirm your brothers."
