Luke 22:32

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:31-34

Luke 22:31-34. And the Lord said, &c. To make his disciples humble and watchful, and kindly affectionate one to another, Christ assured them, that Satan was seeking to destroy them all by his temptations. As if he had said, O Simon, Simon, behold Satan As in the case of Job; (Job 2:4-5;) hath desired to have you My apostles, εξητησατο υμας , hath required you, or sought you out; or requested permission, as Dr. Campbell translates it; to sift you as wheat To assault you by... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 22:24-38

149. Disciples’ failure foretold (Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Luke 22:24-38; John 13:36-38)Despite all that Jesus had shown and taught his disciples about humility, and in spite of the death he was about to die for them, they were still arguing about who was the greatest among them. Jesus reminded them again of the different standards in the earthly and heavenly kingdoms. He had given them an example in the way he lived among them, showing that true greatness lay in serving others (Luke... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:31-32

Luke 22:31-32. Simon! Simon!— This repetition of the name of Simon, shews much earnestness in our Saviour, and intimates the great danger to which Peter was exposed. Our Lord speaks herein the plural,— υμας ; "You, my apostles in general."—That he may sift you as wheat, is an expression denoting the violent agitations, the formidable temptations, and numerous artifices, which the enemy of mankind would make use of to try their integrity. See Amos 9:9. "But, continues our Lord, I have prayed for... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:31-34

5. Jesus’ announcement of Peter’s denial 22:31-34 (cf. Matthew 26:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; John 13:36-38)Luke placed this event next probably because of its logical connection with Jesus’ preceding comment about the disciples remaining faithful to Him during His past trials. That would not continue. However, he did not record Jesus’ announcement that all the disciples would desert Him (Matthew 26:31; Mark 14:27). Perhaps he did not do so because it presents a negative picture of disciples... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:32

Jesus had already counterattacked Satan by praying to God for Peter (singular "you," sou) and presumably for all the other disciples (cf. Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25)."Notice that the Master did not ask that His servant might be freed from trouble. The undergoing of difficulty and hardship is an integral part of the Christian way." [Note: Morris, p. 309.] Jesus described Peter’s faith as being stretched to its limit. He was confident that Peter would survive this attack with God’s help. His... read more
