Healing the Severed Ear

Luke 22:50-51 - When Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, one of His disciples, Peter, drew a sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. But Jesus said, “No more of this!” and He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

This miracle occurred in a moment of intense conflict, as Jesus was about to be betrayed. Despite the violence of the situation, Jesus chose to heal the servant, showing His commitment to peace and healing, even in the face of aggression. His action also served as a powerful reminder of His divine compassion.
