Bible Note: Greetings EdB! Good morning my friend! Retxar is exactly right about the pronouns in Luke 22:31. However, you are also right that Jesus is talking to Peter. One could paraphrase the verses like this: "And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, behold Satan has desired to have you disciples that he may sift you disciples as wheat. But I have prayed for you Simon, that your faith will not fail, and when you return, strengthen the rest of the disciples.'" So, He is talking to Peter, but Peter is only one among the group that Satan would like to sift. However, Jesus tells Peter that He has prayed for him that he might strengthen the rest of the disciples. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
