28 Or voi siete quelli che avete perseverato meco nelle mie prove;

Luca 22:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:28

Ye are they which have continued with me
From the beginning of his ministry, to that very time, they abode by him, and never departed from him, when others withdrew and walked no more with him:

in my temptations:
not in the wilderness by Satan; for they were not with him then, not being as yet called to be his disciples and followers: but in his afflictions, by the reproaches, and cavils, and ensnaring questions of the Scribes and Pharisees, and their attempts upon him to take away his life by stoning which were trials and temptations to him. So the Ethiopic version renders it, "in my affliction": now, since they had stood their ground, and firmly adhered to him in all his trials, he would have them still continue with him, and in his interest, though they should not have that temporal glory and grandeur they expected; but, on the contrary, fresh troubles and exercises, reproach, persecution, and death itself; and, for their encouragement, he promises both pleasure and honour, though of another sort, than what they were seeking after.

Luca 22:28 In-Context

26 Ma tra voi non ha da esser così; anzi, il maggiore fra voi sia come il minore, e chi governa come colui che serve.

27 Poiché, chi è maggiore, colui che è a tavola oppur colui che serve? Non è forse colui che e a tavola? Ma io sono in mezzo a voi come colui che serve.

28 Or voi siete quelli che avete perseverato meco nelle mie prove;

29 e io dispongo che vi sia dato un regno, come il Padre mio ha disposto che fosse dato a me,

30 affinché mangiate e beviate alla mia tavola nel mio regno, e sediate su troni, giudicando le dodici tribù d’Israele.
