Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

That will be some job. But He also said right after that...
"And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life."
...some job, but great perks! ;)

Jesus is talking to the disciples.
On Judgement day they will judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Please read verses before and after the verse you are reading it helps to understand better.
Another way to understand the Bible is to know where and when something is taking place, and who is speaking, and who they are speaking to.

I didn't know Jesus knew Jacobean English.
The scripture, even in translation, is perfectly fine. It's in deciding who 'follows him' that things get muddied and debatable.

I believe that eeverything God says will come to pass. What I think is not revelant.

I think that it is ridiculous. English was not even around 2,000 years ago. Therefore, it could not have said then. Are you joking?
