Malchus

If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way, that the word might be fulfilled which ye spake, 'Of those whom thou hast given me, I lost not one.'" Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

Now the servant's name was Malchus.

Jesus therefore said unto Peter, "Put up the sword into the sheath.

The cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" So the band and the chief captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and bound him and led him to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

"Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

The servant's name was Malchus.

So Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword into the sheath.' He says, 'Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?'" Here the Lord was referring, because there was a part where we already read that the Lord, when he was in the Mount of Olives praying, it says that the Father handed him a cup for him to drink, and it was the cup of punishment or the cup of the curse.

That cup represented the sins of everyone, and the Lord had to drink that cup, and by drinking it, he was making himself guilty of the sins of all humankind, of all those who were going to believe in the Lord, who believe and will believe in the Lord in the future.

The Lord had come from Gethsemane, and before him was his crucifixion.

At the moment of betrayal, Peter drew his sword against Malchus, a servant of the high priest.

Jesus said, "Put up again thy sword into his place.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?" During all of the taunting, the abuse, the scourging, the final torture of crucifixion, the Lord remained silent and submissive.

Remember them? Valiant soldiers they were.

In a few days, one of the most valiant of them is going to take a sword and with a mighty flourish cut off Malchus' ear.

Impressive.

Valiant soldiers indeed.

Peter's ready to back up what he said that he was going to do.

He takes that sword and he swipes at the high priest's servant and cuts off Malchus' ear.

The Lord rebukes Peter.

And now he's helping the enemy.

E- exactly.

Now, now there's also the, I think it's, in, I think, well, like in, in Luke's gospel where, you know, which of course mentions Peter cutting off Malchus' ear, the servant of the high priest.

And then there's-
