Peter cuts off an ear

Luke 22:49-51. Peter uses a sword to cut an ear off one of the men who came to arrest Jesus this was still the 14th of Nisan.

Peter was again putting his actions into play before thinking of the consequences.
Peter was a fisherman, not a soldier. He was the brother of Andrew, another of Jesus’ disciples.

What was Peter thinking? He was surrounded by a lot of armed soldiers.

Jesus once again calms the situation for His hot-headed friend Peter.
