He is identified as the servant of the high priest Caiaphas. The name Malchus is used in the context of the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he is involved in a significant event during the Passion narrative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Jewish context, servants of high priests held positions of some authority and responsibility. The high priest was a central figure in Jewish religious life, and his servants would have been involved in various religious and administrative duties. Malchus, as a servant of Caiaphas, would have been part of the entourage that came to arrest Jesus, reflecting the tension between Jesus and the Jewish religious authorities of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/4429.htm">Melek</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Malchus, a slave of the high priest<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Malchus (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3124: Μάλχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Μάλχος</span></span> (<span class="hebrew">מֶלֶך</span> Grecized; cf.
