You ask whether some are still going to sit. Learn that no one will. Such a thing belongs to the first substance alone, not to what is human. For the apostles, not understanding what it is to sit “on twelve thrones” (Matthew 19:28) and what being glorified then means, were seeking that sort of seat (Matthew 20:23).
Greek
Ἐρωτᾷς, εἰ λοιπόν τινες μέλλουσιν καθεσθῆναι· μάθε, ὅτι οὐδείς· μόνης γὰρ τῆς πρώτης οὐσίας τὸ τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρωπίνης· μὴ νοήσαντες γὰρ οἱ ἀπόστολοι τί ἐστιν τὸ καθεσθῆναι "ἐπὶ δώδεκα θρόνους" καὶ ὅ τι τὸ δοξασθῆναι τότε δηλοῖ τοιαύτην ἐζήτουν καθέδραν.
