Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 22:51

51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

No other Evangelist but Iohn hath this passages perfect. What he hath we have opened in our Notes, on Matth. 26.41.52. because it tendeth to compleat that part of the History there discoursed, concerning Christs being apprehended. Iohn relates it with more Circumstances, telling us that it was Peter who drew the Sword, and that his Name whose Ear was cut off, was Malchus, and relateth some further Words used by our Saviour to Peter, which we shall further consider in their places. This rash act of Peter might have cost him dear, for it made a Kinsman of Malchus take such notice of him, as he was very near being accused by him, Iohn 18.26. Swords are dangerous things for us to use, until God puts them into our Hands. Peter ought not only to have asked his Master if he should smite with the Sword▪ but also to have staid his Hand till Christ had given him an Answer.
