(1a) Blessed is he (2) in whom you have desire and whom you bring near to dwell in your courtyard and who is satisfied with the goodness of your house. Lo! We have left everything and followed you. What then (3) shall we have? Jesus said to them: Truly I say to you: You who followed (4) me, in the new world, when the Son of Man shall sit on his glorious throne, you will also sit on twelve thrones (1b) to judge the twelve tribes of Israel: 1952 of our Lord.
