Luke 22:30-32
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(A)
Peter’s Denial Foretold.(B) 31 [a]“Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to sift all of you[b] like wheat,(C) 32 but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail; and once you have turned back, you must strengthen your brothers.”

- 22:31–32 Jesus’ prayer for Simon’s faith and the commission to strengthen his brothers anticipates the post-resurrectional prominence of Peter in the first half of Acts, where he appears as the spokesman for the Christian community and the one who begins the mission to the Gentiles (Acts 10–11).
- 22:31 All of you: literally, “you.” The translation reflects the meaning of the Greek text that uses a second person plural pronoun here.
