‏ Luke 22:31-34

22:31 ^a Regarding Satan, see 4:2 ^b; 10:18 ^c; 11:15 ^d. Satan is the accuser of God’s people (see Job 1:7 ^e; 2:2 ^f); he would test Simon Peter and the rest of the apostles.

• asked to sift: Wheat was sifted through a sieve to separate the grain from the chaff. It is an image of extreme testing (see Isa 30:28 ^g; Amos 9:9 ^h).

• The NLT’s each of you is precise, because the Greek you is plural, referring to all the disciples. Jesus foresaw Peter’s denial and the trials of the other disciples.
22:32 ⁱ So when you have repented: This you is singular; it refers to Peter’s restoration after his denial of Jesus.
22:33 ^j See Acts 4:3 ^k; 5:18 ^l; 12:1-9 ^m, where Peter suffered trials and was repeatedly jailed. Church tradition relates that Peter was crucified in Rome, but his declaration of loyalty here was premature.
22:34 ⁿ On Thursday evening, Jesus said that Peter would deny him before the rooster crows tomorrow morning (literally before the rooster crows today): This does not contradict Mark’s “this very night, before the rooster crows twice” (Mark 14:30 ^o); Luke and Matthew are simply more general, and in Jewish reckoning, sunset was the beginning of the next day.
