Exegesis
The verb edeēthēn {ἐδεήθην | edeḗthēn} is an aorist passive indicative in form, functioning deponent in sense, and presents Jesus’ intercessory prayer as a completed act on behalf of Peter, specified by the prepositional phrase peri sou {περὶ σοῦ | perí soû} “concerning you.”
The purpose conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces the clause that expresses the aim of this prayer: mē eklipē hē pistis sou {μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις σου | mḕ eklípē hē pístis sou}, literally “that your faith may not fail.”
The negative particle mē with the aorist subjunctive eklipē {ἐκλίπῃ | eklípē} signals a desired prevention rather than a simple prediction; the article-noun phrase hē pistis {ἡ πίστις | hē pístis} functions as the grammatical subject, with the possessive pronoun sou {σοῦ | soû} marking Peter as the one whose faith is in view.
The direct object tous adelphous sou {τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου | toùs adelphoús sou} identifies the community of fellow disciples whom Peter is to confirm and support.
In context — Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.
