Peter Cuts Off the Ear of Malchus
|
 |
 |
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.) 11
Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the
cup the Father has given me?" John 18:10-11
52 "Put your sword back in its place,"
Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father,
and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then would the Scriptures be
fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Matthew 26:52-54
