Context of Mark 14:45
43Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, arrived. A crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They were from the chief priests, the experts in Moses’ Teachings, and the leaders of the people. 44Now, the traitor had given them a signal. He said, “The one I kiss is the man you want. Arrest him, and guard him closely as you take him away.” Then Judas quickly stepped up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him. 46Some men took hold of Jesus and arrested him. 47One of those standing there pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest’s servant.

Peter wounded one of the band. It is easier to fight for Christ than to die for him. But there is a great difference between faulty disciples and hypocrites. The latter rashly and without thought call Christ Master…Read the comment
