18:10-11 Simon Peter drew a short sword or a long knife that was generally worn with everyday garments. • The Hebrew name Malchus means “king,” a detail that John might have included for its wordplay on Jesus’ true identity (see 18:36-37; 19:19). • Put your sword back: Jesus’ mission was not to fight for his life, but to die for ours.
