Matthew 19:28

ἀμὴν : introducing a solemn statement. ὑμεῖς οἱ ἀκ.: not a nominative absolute (Palairet, Observ.), but being far from the verb, ὑμεῖς is repeated (with καὶ) after καθίσεσθε. ἐν τ. παλινγενεσίᾳ to be connected with καθίσεσθε following. This is a new word in the Gospel vocabulary, and points to the general renewal “re-genesis (nova erit genesis cui praeerit Adamus ii., Beng.)” in the end of the days, which occupied a prominent place in Jewish apocalyptic hopes. The colouring in this verse is so strongly apocalyptic as to have suggested the hypothesis of interpolation (Weizsäcker), or of a Jewish-Christian source (Hilgenfeld). It is not in the parallels, but something similar occurs in Luke 22:30. Commentators translate this promise, so strongly Jewish in form, into Christian ideas, according to their taste, reading into it what was not there for the disciples when it was spoken.
