ISB ~ Luke 22 v30

thrones:Seats of royal honor. As the new Davidic king, Jesus gives his apostles a share in his kingdom, enabling them to exercise his royal authority over God’s people (1:32-33; Mt 19:28). See note on Mt 16:19.

• The role of the apostles is described in terms that recall how King David’s cabinet of ministers ruled Israel from thrones in Jerusalem (Ps 122:3-5; Is 22:20-23).
