having a sword
John 18:10
18:10 having a sword. Peter had been among those who insisted on taking a sword (Luke 22:36-38) and impulsively used it at this point. However, Jesus miraculously healed the severed ear (Luke 22:51). Since only John records the servant’s name, one wonders whether the incident eventually led to this servant’s conversion, which John possibly may have learned of later.
