Simon, Simon The repetition of Simon's name is significant and carries a tone of urgency and affection. In the Greek text, the name is "Σίμων" (Simōn), which is the Hellenized form of the Hebrew name "שִׁמְעוֹן" (Shimon), meaning "he has heard." The double use of his name emphasizes the personal nature of Jesus' address and the seriousness of the warning. It reflects a common Semitic expression used to convey deep emotion or concern. This repetition is reminiscent of other biblical instances where God calls individuals by name twice, such as "Moses, Moses" (Exodus 3:4) and "Samuel, Samuel" (1 Samuel 3:10), indicating a moment of significant divine communication. Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat Satan hath desired to have you.--Both this verb, and the "I have prayed," are in the Greek tense which indicates an act thought of as belonging entirely to the past. The Lord speaks as though He had taken part in some scene like that in the opening of Job (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-6), or that which had come in vision before the prophet Zechariah (Zechariah 3:1-5), and had prevailed by His intercession against the Tempter and Accuser. That he may sift you as wheat.--The word and the figure are peculiar to St. Luke's record. The main idea is, however, the same as that of the winnowing fan in Matthew 3:12; the word for "sift" implying a like process working on a smaller scale. The word for "you" is plural. The fiery trial by which the wheat was to be separated from the chaff was to embrace the whole company of the disciples as a body. There is a latent encouragement in the very word chosen. They were "to be sifted as wheat." The good grain was there. They were not altogether as the chaff. . . . Verses 31-38. - The Lord foretells Simon Peter's fall. He tells She disciples of the hard times coming on them. Verse 31. - And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. The majority of the more ancient authorities omit the words, "and the Lord said." These words were possibly inserted at an early date to obviate the abruptness of this sudden change in the subject-matter of the Lord's discourse. The more accurate translation would be, "Satan obtained you by asking that he," etc. Bengel comments with "not content with Judas." This saying of Jesus is a very mysterious one; it reveals to us something of what is going on in the unseen world. A similar request was made by the same bitter, powerful the in the case or Job (Job 1:12). Are we to understand that these are examples of what is constantly going on in that world so close to us, but from which no whisper ever reaches our mortal ears? Such grave thoughts lend especial intensity to those words in the prayer of prayers, where we ask "our Father which is in heaven" to deliver us from evil, or the evil one, as so many of our best scholars prefer to translate ἀπὸ τοῦ πονήρου. Satan asks that he may test and try the apostles. Judas he had already tempted, and he had won him. Possibly this signal victory emboldened him to proffer this request. We may imagine the evil one arguing thus before the Eternal: "These chosen ones who are appointed to work in the future so tremendous a work in thy Name, are utterly unworthy. Let me just try to lure them away with my lures. Lo, they will surely fall. See, one has already."Parallel Commentaries ...
