Context of Luke 22:52

50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus responded and said, “Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a man inciting a revolt? 53While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours.” 54Now they arrested Him and led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

However, the Romans used this term for violent revolutionaries who opposed Roman authority (such as Barabbas, 23:18–19). To many patriotic Jews, these revolutionaries were seen as freedom fighters. To the Romans, they were violent criminals.Read the comment
