Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 22:51

"But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye [them] thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him." — Luke 22:51 (ASV)

(See comments on vv.33–38 for the background to this incident.) Jn 18:10 tells us that it was Peter who drew the sword; Luke alone tells us about Jesus’ healing of the ear of the high priest’s servant.
