And one of them struck the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear;
One of those who were standing by drew his sword, and struck at the High Priest's servant, and cut off his ear.
But when those who were round Jesus saw what was going to happen, they exclaimed: "Master, shall we use our swords?"
On which Jesus said: "Let me at least do this"; and, touching his ear, he healed the wound.
Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the Wrath of God; for Scripture declares--'"It is for me to avenge, I will requite," says the Lord.'
The weapons for our warfare are not earthly, but, under God, are powerful enough to pull down strongholds.
