Luke 22:29

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father has appointed unto me;
Read Chapter 22

Cornelius a Lapide

AD 1637
And I appoint unto you a kingdom. As My Father has decreed and prepared for Me, through humility and the cross: through so many labours and sufferings: a kingdom heavenly and eternal, so do I also appoint the same unto you: that Isaiah , I decree, prepare, and, going to death I now appoint, as by my will, that through the same humility, cross, and suffering, you shall possess a like, nay, the same kingdom with Me in heaven; dispute not then who among you shall be greatest, but who shall be less, that each may study to surpass the other in low estate and humility, for whoever does this, shall be first and greatest in my kingdom.

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
And I assign to you, as my Father hath assigned to me, a kingdom; i.e. as my heavenly Father decreed to exalt me, even as man, and with my human nature, above all creatures; so will I also make you, according to your different merits, partakers of my glory. (Witham)

Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220
He awards the kingdom to His disciples, as He says it had been appointed to Himself by the Father.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
