Context of Luke 22:51

49The people near to Jesus saw what was happening. They asked him, ‘Lord, should we use our swords to fight?’ 50One of them hit the servant of the leader of the priests. He cut off the servant's right ear. ‘That is enough!’ Jesus said. He then touched the man's ear and made him well again. 52Then Jesus spoke to the people that had come to take hold of him. They were the leaders of the priests, and the leaders of the police in the temple. Other important Jews were also there. He said to them, ‘You have come here with swords and heavy sticks. Do you really think that I am leading people to fight against our country's rulers? 53No! But I was with you every day in the yard of the temple. You did not try to take hold of me then. But now really is the time and the place for you to work. Now it is a bad dark time, when the Devil has authority.’

• John 17:12While I was with them, I kept them safe in the power of your name. That is the name that you gave to me. I kept them safe so that only one of them turned away from you. That was the man who had to become lost. The Bible already said that it would happen in that way.
• John 18:8Jesus replied, ‘I have told you already, that is who I am. Since it is me that you are looking for, let these other men go.’
• Romans 12:21Do not let evil things win against you! Instead, do good things. Then you will win against the evil things that people do.
• 2 Corinthians 10:1I, Paul, need to ask you something. Perhaps you think that I am only humble when I am present there with you. You think that I only speak strongly to you when I am far away! Now I am away from you. But I am still humble and kind, like Christ is.
• 1 Peter 2:21When God chose you to be his servants, he wanted you to be brave like that. Christ had trouble and pain on your behalf. He has shown you how you should live when trouble comes.

Commentaries on Luke 22:51

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 51Suffer ye thus far - Or, Suffer me to go thus far. As they had now a firm hold of Christ, Matthew 26:50, he wished them to permit him to go as far as Malchus, whose ear was cut off, that he might heal it. See the objections brought against this interpretation answered by Kypke; and see the examples he produces. However, the words may be understood as an address to his disciples: Let them proceed; make no resistance; for in this way only are the Scriptures…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 47-53Verses 47-53 See this explained in Matthew 26:48-56. Luke 22:48 Betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? - By the “Son of man” was evidently meant “the Messiah.” Judas had had the most satisfactory evidence of that, and did not doubt it. A kiss was the sign of affection. By that slight artifice Judas thought to conceal his base purpose. Jesus with severity reproaches him for it. Every word is emphatic. “Betrayest” thou - dost thou violate all thy…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 47-53Verses 47-53 Nothing can be a greater affront or grief to the Lord Jesus, than to be betrayed by those who profess to be his followers, and say that they love him. Many instances there are, of Christ's being betrayed by those who, under the form of godliness, fight against the power of it. Jesus here gave an illustrious example of his own rule of doing good to those that hate us, as afterwards he did of praying for those that despitefully use us. Corrupt…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 51He touched the man’s ear and healed him: The Gospel of John tells us that the man’s name was Malchus and that Peter was the one who cut off his ear (John 18:10). Peter probably believed that he was beginning the final battle and that God’s heavenly army was about to appear and destroy the Romans. When Jesus refused to fight, the frightened disciples ran away (Matthew 26:56; Mark 14:50).Read the comment
