Creative activities based on the Bible story of Jesus heals Malchus' ear

In the Bible story found in the book of John 18:10-11, Peter, one of Jesus' disciples, draws his sword and cuts off the ear of a servant named Malchus who was with a group sent to arrest Jesus. Jesus rebukes Peter, telling him to put his sword away and stating that those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Jesus then heals Malchus' ear, showing mercy and demonstrating that violence is not the answer. This event highlights Jesus' message of love and forgiveness, and his willingness to suffer for the salvation of humanity.
