Luke 22:32

but I have prayed for you, Simon, ¹  that your faith may not fail. ²  When ³  you have turned back, ⁴  strengthen ⁵  your brothers.”

Ps 32:3-6; Ps 51:12,13; Zec 3:2-4; Mt 18:3; Mt 26:75; Mr 14:72; Mr 16:7; Lu 8:13; Lu 22:61,62; Joh 14:19; Joh 17:9-11,15-21; Joh 21:15-17; Ac 3:19; Ro 5:9,10; Ro 8:32,34; 2Co 1:4-6; 1Ti 1:13-16; 2Ti 2:18; Tit 1:1; Heb 7:25; Heb 12:12,13; Heb 12:15; 1Pe 1:1; 1Pe 1:5; 1Pe 1:13; 1Pe 5:8-10; 2Pe 1:10-12; 2Pe 3:14,17,18; 1Jo 2:1,2; 1Jo 2:19

¹ sn Here and in the remainder of the verse the second person pronouns are singular, so only Peter is in view. The name “Simon” has been supplied as a form of direct address to make this clear in English.

² sn That your faith may not fail. Note that Peter’s denials are pictured here as lapses, not as a total absence of faith.

³ tn Grk “And when.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ tn Or “turned around.”

⁵ sn Strengthen your brothers refers to Peter helping to strengthen their faith. Jesus quite graciously restores Peter “in advance,” even with the knowledge of his approaching denials.
