ἀπολάβῃ, see note.

30. ἀπολάβῃ. ‘Receive as his due.’ Comp. Luke 6:34; Luke 16:25; Luke 23:41.

πολλαπλασίονα. St Matthew and St Mark say ‘a hundredfold,’ and St Matthew adds that in the Palingenesia—the New Birthday of the World, the Restoration of all things—they shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. St Luke naturally omits the more purely Hebraic conceptions. St Mark adds the two striking words, “with persecutions.” Of course, the promise of “the hundred-fold” is neither literal nor quantitative, but qualitative and spiritual.

ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ. Not only in this present aeon; but at this very season.

ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ. In the Messianic age which is now dawning.

ζωὴν αἰώνιον. John 17:3.
