And one of them This phrase refers to one of Jesus' disciples. In the broader context of the Gospels, this individual is identified as Peter (John 18:10). The impulsive nature of Peter is well-documented throughout the New Testament, showcasing his fervent, albeit sometimes misguided, loyalty to Jesus. This moment is a testament to the human tendency to react with violence when faced with fear or perceived injustice, contrasting with Jesus' teachings of peace and forgiveness. struck the servant of the high priest cutting off his right ear Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Impulsiveness vs. ObedienceThe disciple's impulsive action contrasts with Jesus' teaching on peace and non-violence. Believers are called to respond with obedience to Christ's teachings, even in moments of crisis. Jesus' Authority and Compassion Despite the chaos, Jesus demonstrates His authority and compassion by healing the servant's ear (as recorded in other Gospels). This act underscores His mission of reconciliation and healing. The Futility of Violence Jesus' rebuke of the disciple's violent act highlights the futility of using force to achieve spiritual goals. Christians are reminded to rely on God's power and wisdom rather than human strength. Trust in God's Plan Jesus' calm demeanor in the face of arrest reflects His trust in God's sovereign plan. Believers are encouraged to trust God, even when circumstances seem dire.(50-53) And one of them.--See Notes on Matthew 27:52-56; Mark 14:47-49. It will be remembered that all the four Gospels relate the incident, but that St. John alone gives the name of the disciple. It is possibly characteristic of St. Luke's technical accuracy that he uses the diminutive form of "ear," as if part only were cut off. In Deuteronomy 15:17 it seems to be applied specially to the fleshy lobe of the ear.Verse 50. - And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The name of the disciple who smote the servant of the high priest is given by St. John: it was Peter. He gives, too, the servant's name, Malchus. John wrote many years later, when Jerusalem had long ceased to exist; Peter, too, had passed away. Before this incident, St. John relates how the Roman and Jewish guards "went backward, and fell to the ground." What overawed the party of armed men is un-certain-whether some supernatural or merely a natural cause; possibly something of majesty in the Lord's appearance impelled these men to retire and reverently to salute him they were ordered to seize. St. John mentions this to show that it was of his own free will that he rendered himself up. Parallel Commentaries ...
