# General Information:
Jesus speaks directly to Simon.
# Simon, Simon
Jesus said his name twice to show that what he was about to say to him was very important.

The word "you" refers to all of the apostles. Languages that have different forms of "you" should use the plural form. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

The word "you" here refers specifically to Simon. Languages that have different forms of you should use the singular form. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
# that your faith may not fail
This can be stated in positive form. AT: "that you will continue to have faith" or "that you will continue to trust me"
