Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 1And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, aSatan has asked for you, that he may bsift you as wheat.  
32 But aI have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, bstrengthen your brethren.”  
33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”
34 aThen He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”  

Supplies for the Road

35 aAnd He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.”

Luke 22:32

That thy faith fail not (ina mh ekliph e pistiv mou). Second aorist active subjunctive of purpose with ina after edehqhn (

I prayed) of ekleipw, old verb. Our word eclipse is this word. Evidently Jesus could not keep Satan from attacking Peter. He had already captured Judas. Did he not repeatedly attack Jesus? But he could and did pray for Peter's faith and his praying won in the end, though Peter stumbled and fell.

And do thou (kai su). The words single out Peter sharply.

Once thou hast turned again (pote epistreyav). First aorist active participle of epistrefw, common verb to turn to, to return. But the use of this word implied that Peter would fall though he would come back and "strengthen thy brethren."
