Léctio sancti Evangélii secundum Matthǽum (19,27-29)
In illo tempore: Dixit Petrus ad Iesum: “Ecce nos relíquimus ómnia et secúti sumus te. Quid ergo erit nobis?” Iésus autem dixit illis: “Amen dico vobis quod vos, qui secúti estis me, in regeneratióne, cum séderit Fílius hóminis in throno glóriæ suæ, sedébitis et vos super thronos duódecim, iudicántes duódecim tribus Israel. Et omnis, qui relíquit domos vel fratres aut soróres aut patrem aut matrem aut fílios aut agros propter nomen meum, céntuplum accípiet et vitam ætérnam possidébit.”
At that time, Peter said to Jesus: Behold we have left all things, & have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you which have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit upon twelve seats, judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake: shall receive an hundred-fold, & shall possess life everlasting.
