Luke 22:31-32.
22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
American Standard "Satan hath demanded [permission] to sift you like wheat..."
The Williams translation " Satan has asked permission to sift all of you like wheat..."
The New International Version says, "Satan has asked to sift you as wheat..."
Beck translation reads, "...you know the devil has begged to have all of you to sift you like wheat..."
Could we see echoes of Job here, where Satan approached the throne of God and asked about Job? Can Satan even approach the throne since Christ?
