Commentaries on Luke 22:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32I have prayed for thee - From the natural forwardness and impetuosity of thy own spirit, thou wilt be brought into the most imminent danger; but I have supplicated for thee, that thy faith may not utterly fail - ͅ, from , out, and , I fail, to fall utterly or entirely off. Peter's faith did fail, but not utterly: he did fall, but he did not fall off, apostatize, or forsake his Master and his cause finally, as Judas did. Every body sees, from Peter's…Read the comment

Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with…Read the comment
