In the tumultuous night in the Garden of Gethsemane, as Jesus was confronted by a multitude armed with swords and torches sent by the chief priest to arrest Him, an act of violence unfolded. Peter, unwilling to see his Master taken without resistance, rashly struck Malchus, a servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. In response, Jesus performed a miraculous act of mercy, restoring Malchus' ear, demonstrating His compassion even in the face of impending suffering and arrest.
