Malchos
reigning, the personal servant or slave of the high priest Caiaphas. He is mentioned only by John. Peter cut off his right ear in the garden of Gethsemane ( John 18:10 ). But our Lord cured it with a touch ( Matthew 26:51 ; Mark 14:47; Luke 22:51 ). This was the last miracle of bodily cure wrought by our Lord. It is not mentioned by John.
