Peter Sny Malchus se oor

Simon Peter stands in the moonlit garden with a drawn blade after striking Malchus, the servant of the high priest, during the arrest of Jesus. Torches flare among the trees as armed men press into Gethsemane, while Jesus turns toward the wounded man with calm authority. The scene captures the tense moment when human zeal answers violence with violence, but Christ interrupts the conflict with mercy. In the Gospel accounts, Jesus commands Peter to put away the sword and submits to the Father’s will, showing that the kingdom of God is not defended by force but fulfilled through obedient sacrifice.
