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.
