Luke 22:50
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Cross-reference
Matthew 26:51-54 expands with Jesus’ rebuke to put away the sword and his mention of angelic legions — showing his voluntary submission.
Mark 14:47 records the same ear-cutting but without naming the disciple — a briefer parallel account of the same incident.
John 18:10 specifies Peter as the striker and names Malchus — adding identity and detail to the same event.
In John 18:11, Jesus immediately commands Peter to sheath his sword and accepts the Father’s cup — a direct sequel to the strike.
Romans 12:19 forbids personal vengeance — contrasting the disciples’ violent impulse with the command to leave retribution to God.
2 Corinthians 10:4 contrasts fleshly weapons like the sword with spiritual weapons that have divine power — a direct contrast to this act.
