STEPBible TIPNR
Malchus was a servant of the high priest during the time of Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. When the crowd, led by Judas Iscariot, came to arrest Jesus, Simon Peter drew his sword and struck Malchus, cutting off his right ear. Jesus rebuked Peter for his violent act and healed Malchus' ear, demonstrating his compassion and willingness to show love even to his enemies (Jhn 18:10).
Malchus Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
Reigning, the personal servant or slave of the high priest Caiaphas. He is mentioned only by John. Peter cut off his right ear in the garden of Gethsemane (John 18:10). But our Lord cured it with a touch (Matt. 26:51; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:51). This was the last miracle of bodily cure wrought by our Lord. It is not mentioned by John.
