Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:31–38: Jesus predicted that Peter would deny him

In this section Jesus warned Peter that Satan wanted to test the disciples severely. Peter told Jesus that he would always be faithful to him, but Jesus said to him, “This same night you (Peter) will say three times that you do not know me.”

In the second part of the section, Jesus reminded his apostles of the time that he sent them out to preach and heal (chapters 9–10). At that time, they did not need to take anything with them. People welcomed them and took care of them as they preached about Jesus. But now, people would say that Jesus was an evil doer, just as the prophets had written in the Scriptures. So Jesus warned his apostles to prepare for this time of difficulty and danger.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial (GNT)

Jesus’ Disciples Will Be Tested (CEV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:31–35, Mark 14:27–31, and John 13:36–38.

22:32a

But I have prayed for you, Simon,

But Simon, I have prayed for you^(sing), asking God
But I have prayed for you^(sing)
In contrast, I have asked God to help you^(sing)

But I: The phrase But I indicates a strong contrast. Satan asked God for permission to tempt the apostles severely, but Jesus prayed for Simon that his faith would not fail. Translate the contrast in a natural way in your language.

I have prayed for you, Simon: The pronoun you in this sentence is singular. Jesus spoke specifically to Simon. Jesus had already addressed Simon by name in the preceding verse. In some languages it may not be natural to repeat Simon’s name here again. In other languages it may be more natural to put Simon’s name in a different place in the sentence. For example:

But Simon, I have prayed for you

I have prayed for you: The verb have prayed indicates that Jesus had already prayed to God for Simon. The phrase for you indicates in a general way that Jesus asked God to help Simon. The clause in 22:32b tells the specific help that Jesus prayed for.

Other ways to translate “But I have prayed for you” are:

But I have prayed for you ahead of time

However, I have already prayed to God for you

I, in contrast, have already asked God to help you

The verb “pray” also occurred in 21:36. See how you translated it there.

22:32b

that your faith will not fail.

that your faith will not end/die.
that you^(sing) will not completely cease to trust in me.
to persevere/persist in trusting me.

that your faith will not fail: The clause that your faith will not fail tells the content of Jesus’ prayer and also its intended result. Jesus prayed that Simon would continue to have faith in him, even though Satan would test Simon.

The Greek word that the BSB translates as faith can refer to either trust or faithfulness or both. Some other ways to translate the clause are:

that you will not stop trusting me

that you will not be unfaithful to me

that your faith will not become weak

In some languages it may be better to use a positive expression. For example:

that you will continue to have confidence in me

See believe, Meaning 2, in the Glossary.

22:32c

And when you have turned back,

And after you^(sing) return to me,
And after you repent and trust me faithfully again,

when you have turned back: In this context Jesus implied that Simon will turn away from him in some way, but then Simon will turn back to Jesus. The verb turned back is a figure of speech here. It implies that Simon will fail in some way to trust Jesus, but then he will repent. He will be sorry for his failure, and trust Jesus again.

Some ways to translate this are:

Translate the figure of speech. For example:
when you have come back to me (CEV)
when you turn to me again
Translate the figure of speech and indicate the meaning. For example:
when you have repented and turned to me again (NLT)
Translate the meaning without the figure of speech. For example:
when you have repented
Use a figure of speech in your language that has the same meaning.
Translate the meaning in a natural way in your language.

22:32d

strengthen your brothers.”

encourage these your brothers.”
help your^(sing) fellow disciples to trust me faithfully also.”

strengthen your brothers: The command strengthen your brothers indicates that Simon should encourage his fellow disciples. He should help them to continue to trust Jesus and be faithful to him. Jesus was about to suffer and die. During that time, Satan would tempt all the apostles to become discouraged. The command to strengthen them indicates that Simon Peter should encourage them to faithfully trust Jesus.

Other ways to translate this command are:

encourage your companions

help your fellow apostles to faithfully trust me

your brothers: Here Jesus referred to the other apostles. He may also have referred to all the other people who followed him. Jesus used the word brothers in a figurative way here. Most of the other apostles were not Peter’s relatives in a physical sense. They shared a spiritual kinship by being children of God and followers of Jesus.

In some languages, it is helpful to make the meaning more explicit. For example:

your^(sing) fellow apostles/disciples

your companions who follow me

ἐγὼ & ἐδεήθην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ δέ ἐδεήθην περί σοῦ ἵνα μή ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σοῦ καί σύ ποτέ ἐπιστρέψας στήρισον τούς ἀδελφούς σοῦ)

Your language may require you to state the object of the verb. In this context the verb has a strong sense. Alternate translation: [I have prayed to God] or [I have pleaded with God]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

ἐγὼ δὲ ἐδεήθην περὶ σοῦ

Jesus is addressing Simon specifically, and so the terms you and your are singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

ἵνα μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σου

that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ δέ ἐδεήθην περί σοῦ ἵνα μή ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σοῦ καί σύ ποτέ ἐπιστρέψας στήρισον τούς ἀδελφούς σοῦ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of the negative word not combined with the negative verb fail as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [that you will continue to have faith] or [that you will continue to trust me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ποτε ἐπιστρέψας

This expression refers to resuming a previous course of action. Alternate translation: [when you are once more openly loyal to me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

στήρισον τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου

strengthen (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐγώ δέ ἐδεήθην περί σοῦ ἵνα μή ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σοῦ καί σύ ποτέ ἐπιστρέψας στήρισον τούς ἀδελφούς σοῦ)

The implication is that Jesus wants Simon to strengthen the other disciples in their faith. Alternate translation: [encourage the other disciples to be strong in their faith as well]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου

Jesus is using the term brothers to mean someone who shares the same belief. Alternate translation: [your fellow believers] or [the other disciples]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου

Here Jesus has the other apostles, who are all men, initially in view. But he may also want Simon to strengthen the faith of any of his other disciples, male or female, who need encouragement. In that case, he would be using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [your fellow believers]

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
