Matthew 26:51

Matthew 26:51 One . . . drew his sword. Peter (John 18:26). Struck a servant of the high priest's. As we learn from John, his name was Malchus (John 18:10). The Lord healed his wound (Luke 22:51). Peter asked, "Shall we smite with the sword"? and without waiting for an answer, struck the blow (Luke 22:49).
