Best Answer

I assume you are speaking of Peter of The Bible. Peter did indeed have a wife. Peter was not a priest, and he was not Catholic. Therefore he was not bound by Catholic rule that ordained priests should remain unmarried.

What did Peter do to one of the Roman soldiers who arrested Jesus?

Peter did not do anything to one of the Roman soldiers who arrested Jesus as the Roman soldiers were not involved in the arrest. The High Priest sent some persons along with some Temple guards to arrest Jesus. One of these persons was "Malchus" who was a servant of the High Priest. Peter drew his sword and cut an ear of Malchus off. Jesus took the ear and placed it back on Malchus' head. This is the only place in Scripture where Jesus healed a fresh wound.

Whose ear was cut off in the Bible?

In the Bible, Mark 14:47 and Luke 22:50 state:" And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear." John 18:10 states, "Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his righit ear. The servant's name was Malchus." John 18:26 states: One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, "Did not I see thee in the garden with him?" So the answer is Malchus, one of the high priest's servants.
