Luke 22:49-51 NIV
But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.
Betrayal sparks hate
Revenge ends communicate
Mercy opens gate
Today I will trade fears for ears
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
John 18:10-11 NIV
