10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)
The high priests servants ear was cut by the sword of Peter, please note this is the only defense noted in the bible to save Jesus.
NO DISCIPLE EVER HAD THEIR EARS CHOPPED OUT. Infact it was the chief priests servants ear that was chopped out by Peter, and this strike is the only defence made for Jesus.
No roman soldier actually had his ear cut off. The incident occurred as soldiers came to arrest Jesus, and with them were some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. The gospels of Matthew and Luke do not record the name of the disciple who cut off the ear of a servant of the high priest. John 18:10 records that it was Simon Peter, and that the servant's name was Malchus.
In the Bible, it is written that Simon Peter cut off the ear of a Roman soldier named Malchus while trying to protect Jesus from being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Peter was the disciple who cut off the ear of the Roman soldier when taking Jesus to Pilate. Jesus then miraculously healed the soldier's ear.
All four gospels note the incident, but only Luke tells of the healing.Luke 22:50, 51 - And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him. [NKJV]
Jesus cuts off the ear of the high prelate slave ----> Correction. Jesus did not cut the ear off of anyone. Jesus never used swords or weapons. The ear was cut off in the fight between the Roman guards and the Disciples who were trying to protect Jesus. He then told them to stop fighting and trust Him. He then also healed the ear of the man.
Peter, who is Jesus's brother.
Peter
He thought he was defending Jesus from opposers. It was hard for him to fathom the idea of Jesus, the greatest man, teacher & friend who ever lived, would be handed over to false religious power hungry hypocrites like the Pharisees. This notion was touched on earlier when Jesus was describing to the apostles what kind of trials he would go through before being put to death. (Matthew 16:21-22) Basically, he meant well but wasn't thinking in line with Jehovah God's will for Jesus at the time. (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
He healed it, made it whole again.
restored the ear that Peter cut off one of the arresting Roman guards.
