In a critical moment during Jesus' arrest, a disciple reacts violently, cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant. Jesus responds not with further violence or anger, but with a call for peace and an act of healing. By saying "No more of this!" Jesus underscores his commitment to nonviolence and reconciliation. His healing of the servant's ear is a powerful testament to his divine compassion and authority. This miracle, performed in the midst of chaos, illustrates Jesus' unwavering dedication to his mission of love and restoration. It serves as a profound lesson in responding to aggression with grace and mercy, reminding us of the transformative power of forgiveness and healing. Jesus' actions encourage believers to embody these principles in their own lives, promoting peace and understanding even in challenging situations. This narrative invites reflection on how we can be agents of healing and reconciliation in a world often marked by conflict.
But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
