Berean Study Bible

so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom
so that you may
This phrase indicates a purpose or result, suggesting that the actions or conditions previously mentioned lead to this outcome. In the context of Luke 22, Jesus is speaking to His disciples during the Last Supper, a pivotal moment before His crucifixion. The Greek word for "may" (ἵνα) often introduces a purpose clause, emphasizing the intentionality of Jesus' promise. It reflects the divine plan and the assurance that the disciples' faithfulness will lead to a future reward.

eat and drink
Eating and drinking are fundamental human activities, symbolizing sustenance and fellowship. In the biblical context, they often represent communion and celebration. The Greek words used here, "φαγεῖν" (to eat) and "πίνειν" (to drink), are common in the New Testament and are frequently associated with the Messianic banquet, a theme that runs throughout Scripture. This imagery points to the eschatological hope of believers sharing in the joy and abundance of God's kingdom.

at My table
The table is a place of intimacy and fellowship. In ancient Near Eastern culture, sharing a meal was a sign of friendship and covenant. The phrase "My table" signifies a personal invitation from Jesus, highlighting the close relationship between Him and His followers. It echoes the imagery of Psalm 23:5, where God prepares a table for the psalmist, symbolizing provision and protection. This promise assures the disciples of their place in the divine fellowship.

in My kingdom
The kingdom of God is a central theme in Jesus' teaching, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His redemptive plan. The Greek word "βασιλείᾳ" (kingdom) conveys both a present reality and a future hope. Jesus' reference to "My kingdom" underscores His authority and the inaugurated eschatology of His ministry. It assures the disciples that despite the impending trials, they will partake in the eternal reign of Christ, a promise that extends to all believers.

and you will sit on thrones
and you will sit
This phrase indicates a position of rest and authority. The Greek verb "καθίσεσθε" (you will sit) suggests a settled state, contrasting with the transient nature of earthly power. It implies a future reward for the disciples' faithfulness, aligning with the biblical theme of believers reigning with Christ. This promise is a source of hope and encouragement, affirming that their labor is not in vain.

on thrones
Thrones symbolize authority and judgment. In the biblical context, they are often associated with kings and rulers. The Greek word "θρόνους" (thrones) reflects the honor and responsibility bestowed upon the disciples. This imagery is consistent with the apocalyptic vision in Revelation, where believers are depicted as reigning with Christ. It signifies the reversal of worldly values, where the humble and faithful are exalted in God's kingdom.

judging the twelve tribes of Israel
judging
The act of judging involves discernment and authority. The Greek word "κρίνοντες" (judging) implies a role in governance and decision-making. In the biblical narrative, judgment is often associated with righteousness and justice. This promise to the disciples reflects their future role in God's redemptive plan, where they will participate in the administration of His kingdom.

the twelve tribes of Israel
The twelve tribes represent the entirety of God's covenant people. This phrase connects the disciples' future role to the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. It underscores the continuity between the Old and New Covenants, highlighting the disciples' foundational role in the establishment of the Church. This promise assures them of their integral part in God's salvific history, bridging the past and future of His people.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(30) That ye may eat and drink at my table.--The promise is the same as that implied in what had been already said in Luke 22:16.

And sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.--See Note on Matthew 19:28. The repetition of the promise at the moment when apparent failure was close at hand, is significant as carrying the words into a higher region of symbolic meaning. Not on any thrones of earth were those disciples to sit, any more than the Master was to sit on the throne of His father David in an earthly Jerusalem.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 30. - That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. While the words just considered (ver. 29) referred to a success and a reward, the scene of which was to be this world, the Master now continues his promises of reward to his chosen faithful followers - a reward which will be their blessed portion in eternal life, which will follow this. First, the endless bliss to be shared with him is pictured under the old favourite Jewish image of the heavenly banquet; and second, in that heavenly realm a special place of honor and a distinct work is promised to these his chosen faithful servants.
