The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:29

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me. This promise refers to earth and this life. They and their successors in his Church would bear sway over men's hearts, His kingdom would be administered by them. With strangely literal accuracy has this promise been fulfilled. From the hour when the despised Master, already doomed to a shameful death, uttered this seemingly improbable prediction, his kingdom over men's hearts has been extending. Then at most the kingdom... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:29

And I appoint unto you a kingdom - He assures them here that they should “have” a kingdom - their expectations would be realized. They had continued with him; they had seen how “he” had lived, and to what trials he had been subjected; they had all along expected a kingdom, and he assures them that they should not be disappointed.As my Father ... - They had seen how God had appointed a kingdom to “him.” It was not with pomp, and splendor, and external glory, but it was in poverty, want,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:28-30

Luke 22:28-30 . Ye have continued with me in my temptations Εν τοις πειρασμοις μου , in my trials and afflictions: and his whole life was little else than one continued series of them, particularly from the time of his entering on his public ministry. And I appoint unto you a kingdom I will preserve you in all your temptations and trials here, and will confer on you a kingdom of glory hereafter: I appoint, not a primacy to one, but a kingdom to every one; and that on the same terms ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 22:24-38

149. Disciples’ failure foretold (Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:24-38; John 13:36-38)Despite all that Jesus had shown and taught his disciples about humility, and in spite of the death he was about to die for them, they were still arguing about who was the greatest among them. Jesus reminded them again of the different standards in the earthly and heavenly kingdoms. He had given them an example in the way he lived among them, showing that true greatness lay in serving others (Luke... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:29-30

Luke 22:29-30. And I appoint unto you, &c.— The kingdom which the Father bestowed on Jesus, as the reward of his humiliations, was his mediatorial kingdom, Php 2:9 not the happiness of heaven, which he enjoyed from eternity; wherefore, the kingdom which he bestowed on his apostles as the peculiar reward of their services, being of the same nature with his own, was the authority which they enjoyed next to him in the gospel dispensation. That ye may eat and drink at my table, &c. is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:29

29. I appoint, &c.—Who is this that dispenses kingdoms, nay, the Kingdom of kingdoms, within an hour or two of His apprehension, and less than a day of His shameful death? These sublime contrasts, however, perpetually meet and entrance us in this matchless history. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:28-30

The future role of the Twelve 22:28-30Jesus balanced the need for humility and service with a promise of future reward. Though the Twelve are in view, the implication of reward for other faithful disciples is strong. Jesus evidently repeated this promise in different language from an earlier incident (Matthew 19:28). read more
