  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Malchus 
  reigning,  the  personal  servant  or  slave  of  the  high  priest 
  Caiaphas.  He  is  mentioned  only  by  John.  Peter  cut  off  his  right 
  ear  in  the  garden  of  Gethsemane  (John  18:10).  But  our  Lord  cured 
  it  with  a  touch  (Matt.  26:51;  Mark  14:47;  Luke  22:51).  This  was 
  the  last  miracle  of  bodily  cure  wrought  by  our  Lord.  It  is  not 
  mentioned  by  John.
