But if it is of the Apostles also that this is said, (and so we should rather take it,) then they shall be their judges, for they shall sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Hilary of Poitiers: "And they are worthily appointed judges over them, to whom Christ is found to have given that power over the dæmons, which it was denied that He had." Rabanus Maurus: "Or, because the Apostles well knew within their own conscience that they had learnt no evil art from Him."
