Jesus, the Christ: Promises of, Prophetic

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel

…will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

…will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”

And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

…so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. …

Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, My servant will be as well. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.

And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. …

Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. …

I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss. …
