24. A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.

31. “Simon, Simon, pay attention! Satan has demanded to have you all, to sift you like wheat,
32. but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
