Here are two things: The Danger of the temptation; and the Remedy against it. The Danger in the 31. and the Remedy in the 32. verse. In the 31. verse we have considerable, The Tempter; called Satan, which signifies an Adversary. The Tempted; and those are, not Simon only, but all the Disciples. Satan hath desired you: 'tis in the Plural number: he directs his speech unto Simon, but the temptation spreads larger upon all the Disciples: That he may sift you.
