22:51

"But Jesus said, 'No more of this!' And he touched his ear and healed him." ~Luke 22:51

The incident of Peter slicing off the high priest's servant's ear is mentioned in all four gospels.

Presumably, the authors of the gospels thought that Jesus' right hand man taking a swipe at someone's head with a sword was an event unusual enough to mention.

However, Jesus healing the man who came to take him to his death is mentioned only by Luke, the author noted for his attention to minute detail.

Could it be that the authors of the gospels saw this as so commonplace, so in line with the character of our Christ that it wasn't seen as worth noting?

It's as if Matthew, Mark, and John collectively think: "Of course the Lord healed him. Of course he reattaches the ear of his enemy in front of the mob sent to arrest him. Of course he loved and had compassion on this servant of the high priest...what was his name again? He even loved the high priest's servant. He even loved the man standing with his betrayer. He even loved this Malchus. Of course he healed him! Don't you know Jesus?"

"Duh."

A moment so enormously "small" it had to be picked up and placed down in history by Luke.

Do you know this Jesus?
