Healing the ear
Luke 22:50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Only in Luke does it record Jesus healing the ear. The differences in the four gospels indicate they have different agendas. The three synoptic gospels appear to have the three different groups -- pre tribulation rapture (Luke), tribulation saints (Mark), and salvation of the Jewish nation (Matthew).
The "pre tribulation" rapture will heal the ears of those left behind. The gospels records this prophecy of the people:
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
There are many whose heart has waxed gross, their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed. That will all change after the rapture.
But even that prophecy is not recorded the same in the three gospels. In Luke all it says is
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Today we can see there are those who don't see and even though they are hearing they don't understand. But by the end of the tribulation prior to the nation of Israel being saved this problem will have "waxed gross".
Mark takes it. step further from Luke:
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
This shows us how we should be praying for others, that the Lord would touch their ears and touch their eyes. Pray that they would hear and understand and be converted and their sins forgiven them. Pray that the Lord would heal them.
