Matthew 19:25-30

25 When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

26 And looking at them Jesus said to them, "¹With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

The Disciples' Reward

27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?"

28 And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when ²the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, ³you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 "And ⁴everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

30 "⁵But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.
