DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

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.
