The Greek word for "prayed" is "ἐδεήθην" (edeēthēn), which implies a deep, earnest plea. Jesus, knowing the trials Peter would face, intercedes directly with the Father. This reflects the ongoing priestly ministry of Christ, who continues to intercede for believers (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>). It is a profound reminder of the personal care and concern Jesus has for each of His followers, emphasizing that He is actively involved in their spiritual journey.Simon The use of "Simon" instead of "Peter" is significant. "Simon" is Peter's original name, and its use here may indicate a return to his human frailty and vulnerability. It serves as a reminder of Peter's humanity and the need for divine support. The name "Simon" is derived from the Hebrew "Shim'on," meaning "he has heard," which is fitting as Peter is being called to listen to Jesus' warning and encouragement.that your faith will not fail The Greek word for "fail" is "ἐκλείπω" (ekleipō), meaning to cease or to come to an end. Jesus' prayer is specifically for Peter's faith to endure through the coming trials. This highlights the importance of faith as a sustaining force in the life of a believer. It is not the absence of failure that defines a Christian, but the perseverance of faith through trials. Jesus' prayer underscores the belief that faith, though tested, can be preserved by divine intervention.And when you have turned back The phrase "turned back" comes from the Greek "ἐπιστρέψας" (epistrepsas), meaning to return or to turn around. This implies repentance and restoration. Jesus foresees Peter's denial but also his eventual repentance and return to faithfulness. It is a message of hope and redemption, illustrating that failure is not final and that restoration is always possible through Christ.strengthen your brothers The Greek word for "strengthen" is "στήριξον" (stērixon), which means to establish or to make firm. After Peter's restoration, he is called to support and encourage his fellow believers. This reflects the communal aspect of the Christian faith, where believers are called to support one another. It is a call to leadership and service, emphasizing that personal experiences of grace and restoration should lead to the edification of others within the body of Christ.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(32) I have prayed for thee.--The individualising pronoun is significant as indicating to the Apostle, who was most confident, it may be, of his claim to greatness, that he, of the whole company of the Twelve, was in the greatest danger. In the Greek the other pronoun also is emphatic. "It was I who prayed for thee." The prayer was answered, and the words that follow assume the answer as certain. In one sense "faith" did "fail" when the disciple denied his Lord; but repentance came after it, and a new power was gained through that weakness to make others strong. The word for "strengthen" does not meet us in the other Gospels, but is used frequently by St. Paul (<a href="/romans/1-11.htm" title="For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;">Romans 1:11</a>; <a href="/1_thessalonians/3-2.htm" title="And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:">1Thessalonians 3:2</a>, et al.), and twice by St. Peter himself (<a href="/1_peter/5-10.htm" title="But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.">1Peter 5:10</a>; <a href="/2_peter/1-12.htm" title="Why I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.">2Peter 1:12</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 32. - But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. The prayer of Satan apparently was not refused. Jesus, however, says, that for one of that loved company, who he knew from his peculiar temperament was in especial peril, he had prayed. The prayer was answered thus: the temptation came to all the apostles; all fell; Peter, though, more disastrously by far than his brethren, but the result of the fall was not hopeless despair as in the case of Judas, but bitter remorse and a brave manly repentance. "It is said by Roman divines (e.g. Maldonatus, a Lapide, and Mai, here) that this prayer and precept of our Lord extends to all bishops of Rome as St. Peter's successors, and that in speaking to St. Peter our Lord spoke to them. Would they be willing to complete the parallel, and say that the bishops of Rome specially need prayer, because they deny Christ? Let them not take a part of it and leave the rest" (Bishop Wordsworth). When thou art converted. "Converted" must not be understood here in its technical sense; it should rather be translated, "And thou, when thou hast turned (i.e. to God) strengthen thy brethren." <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. I ἐγὼ (egō) Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative 1st Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1473.htm">Strong's 1473: </a> I, the first-person pronoun.
