§ 125. JESUS FOREWARNS PETER, Luke 22:31-38 . 31. Simon, Simon Peter had probably had his full share in the contention just mentioned; and our Lord here addresses him with a most solemn emphasis by his old natural name, in distinction from his new name of Peter. Hath desired In the Greek ( εζητησατο ) has asked that you be surrendered over to him, as Job was surrendered to this same Satan.

32. Prayed that thy faith fail not His faith should falter, though it did not finally fail. His faith doubtless ceased to be justifying, though it remained convicting; at least so far as to form the basis of a true repentance. Converted From the apostacy.

Strengthen thy brethren Who will... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:38

38. They said, Lord… two swords At the mention of a sword some of the disciples, taking him literally, bring him forth double his demand, two swords! It is enough To illustrate my metaphor, quite enough; and too much, if it is real bloodshed you contemplate. The words gently rebuke the apostles’ mistake. They had these swords evidently concealed from our Lord. They may have provided them for defence against assailants, as even the priests did in the passage (Luke 10:31) from Jericho... read more
