This command from Jesus emphasizes His commitment to non-violence and His mission of peace, even in the face of betrayal and arrest. It reflects His teachings in the Sermon on the Mount (<a href="/matthew/5-39.htm">Matthew 5:39</a>) about turning the other cheek and underscores His role as the Prince of Peace (<a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>). This phrase also highlights Jesus' authority and control over the situation, as He intervenes to stop further violence.And He touched the man’s ear and healed him. This miraculous healing is significant as it demonstrates Jesus' compassion and divine power even towards those who came to arrest Him. The act of healing Malchus, the servant of the high priest, is unique to Luke's Gospel, which often emphasizes Jesus' concern for individuals and His healing ministry. This miracle serves as a final public act of healing before His crucifixion, symbolizing His mission to restore and reconcile. It also fulfills the prophecy of <a href="/isaiah/53-5.htm">Isaiah 53:5</a>, which speaks of the Messiah's wounds bringing healing. The healing of the ear can be seen as a type of spiritual restoration, pointing to the greater healing Jesus offers through His sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, demonstrating His divine authority and compassion even in the face of betrayal and arrest. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> Present during the arrest of Jesus, one of whom (Peter, according to other Gospel accounts) reacts violently by cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_high_priest's_servant.htm">The High Priest's Servant</a> The victim of the disciple's sword, whose ear is miraculously healed by Jesus. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_arrest.htm">The Arrest</a> This event takes place in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus is being arrested by a group led by Judas Iscariot. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_garden_of_gethsemane.htm">The Garden of Gethsemane</a> A place of prayer and betrayal, significant in the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_peace.htm">The Power of Peace</a> Jesus' command, "No more of this!" underscores the power of peace over violence.

We are. not told to whom the words were spoken. If to the disciples, they were a command to be patient, and to let things take their course. If, as is possible, to the servants and officers, they were a plea for His disciples--"Do not visit them with punishment for this one act." The immediate healing of the ear is in favour of the latter view, as tending to conciliation.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 51. - Suffer ye thus far. The exact meaning of these words has been much debated. They probably were addressed to the company of armed men, and contained a plea for the mistaken zeal of his disciple Peter. "Excuse this resistance." And he touched his ear, and healed him. This miraculous cure of the wound inflicted by the zealous disciple is related by the physician Luke. <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-51.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. Jesus Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites. answered, Ἀποκριθεὶς (Apokritheis) Verb - Aorist Participle Passive - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_611.htm">Strong's 611: </a> From apo and krino; to conclude for oneself, i.e. to respond; by Hebraism to begin to speak. “No more Ἐᾶτε (Eate) Verb - Present Imperative Active - 2nd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1439.htm">Strong's 1439: </a> To allow, permit, let alone, leave.
