Luke 22:50

Weymouth NT

And one of them struck a blow at the High Priest's servant and cut off his right ear.

See the chapter Copy

But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck a blow at the High Priest's servant, cutting off his ear.

Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, »Master, shall we strike with the sword?«

»Permit me thus far,« said Jesus. And He touched the ear and healed it.

Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, »`Revenge belongs to Me: I will pay back,' says the Lord.«

The weapons with which we fight are not human weapons, but are mighty for God in overthrowing strong fortresses.
