Lukas 22:28

28 En gij zijt degenen, die met Mij steeds gebleven zijt in Mijn verzoekingen.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 22:28 In-Context

26 Doch gij niet alzo; maar de meeste onder u, die zij gelijk de minste, en die voorganger is, als een die dient.
27 Want wie is meerder, die aanzit, of die dient? Is het niet die aanzit? Maar Ik ben in het midden van u, als een die dient.
28 En gij zijt degenen, die met Mij steeds gebleven zijt in Mijn verzoekingen.
29 En Ik verordineer u het Koninkrijk, gelijkerwijs Mijn Vader dat Mij verordineerd heeft;
30 Opdat gij eet en drinkt aan Mijn tafel in Mijn Koninkrijk, en zit op tronen, oordelende de twaalf geslachten Israels.
