MATTHEW 26:51 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.”
And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. The sword-striker — John 18:10 identifies him as Peter — draws his sword and cuts off the high priest's servant's ear. The violent response to the arrest communicates the disciples' willingness to fight that Peter's earlier commitment had suggested, but Jesus' response will reframe the entire situation.
