Luke 22:31–34
Though Satan sifts, Christ’s prayer preserves.
31 The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat,
32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
33 He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”
34 He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”
Though Satan sifts, Christ’s prayer preserves.
To reveal Christ’s intercessory preservation of His disciple amid satanic testing.
