Luke 22:31-34
What is written? (ESV)
Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers. Peter said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death. Jesus said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.
What does it say?
Oh, Peter! Satan has insisted to have you so that he might break you down, but I [Jesus] have prayed on your behalf that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers. Peter responded that he was ready to follow Him to prison and death, but Jesus said that he would actually deny Him three times before daybreak.
What is its immediate context?
It is Jesus’ final week and they are in the upper room. The apostles are arguing about who will be greatest in the kingdom and Jesus addresses their argument by showing how He himself served, and they must as well.
