Luke 22:28

28 "You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me.

Luke 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.

Luke 22:28 In-Context

26 But you're not going to be that way! Rather, the greatest among you must be like the youngest, and your leader must be like a servant.

27 Who's the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn't it really the person who sits at the table? But I'm among you as a servant.

28 "You have stood by me in the troubles that have tested me.

29 So as my Father has given me a kingdom, I'm giving it to you.

30 You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will also sit on thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel."
