Luke 22:29-30 and the Time Frame for Dining and Ruling

  • Semi-Technical
  • Peter K. Nelson

What was the timeframe anticipated by Jesus for the fulfillment of the promises in Luke 22:29-30?

The author explains further that neither the differences between Luke 22:29-30 and Matthew 19:28 nor the limited thematic likeness between Luke 22:29-30 and apostolic activity in Acts count against his conclusion.
