Jesus Foretells Peter's Denial (Mark 14:27 *, Matthew 26:31 *). Contrast Luke 22:31 f. with Mk. and Mt. (All ye shall be offended, etc.).

Luke 22:31. Satan asked: the verb implies that the request (which was for all the disciples) was successful, (Satan has procured to bew given up to him Field): the case is similar to that of Job. But on the other hand Jesus has prayed (synchronously with Satan's request) that Peter at least should not utterly fail. He will fall, but he will rise again, and must then strengthen the others. The passage may be compared with Matthew 16:17; both show how Simon becomes Peter.
