The healing of Makhus's ear.—Luke, xxii. 50 : And one
of tliem smote tlie servant of the high priest, and cut off his
right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far.
And he touched his ear, and healed him.
This miracle is peculiar to St. Luke, for although all four
Evangelists record the cutting off of the ear, St. Luke alone
tells us of the healing. In its character it was of such a
nature as would impress itself on the mind of a physician
as it was unique among our Lord's acts of healing, and
St. Luke in his medical practice had never seen the restoration
of an amputated member of the body.

Parable of the good Samaritan.— Luke, x.30-35: And Jesus
answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and fell among {TrepuTrttrev) thieves, which stripped
him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead {i^fxiQavn). And by chance {Kara avjKvpiav) there
came down a certain priest that way : and when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side {avrnrapriXdEv). And likewise
a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on
him, and passed by on the other side {avTiirapnXBe). But a
certain Samaritan, as" he journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion on him, and went to
him, and bound iq) {Karilriat) his tvounds {ra Tpavfxara avrov),
2)ouring in {lirix^wv) oil and tvine (jsXaiov koX otvov), and set
him on his own beast, and brouglit him to an inn, and took
