Eber

A Sanhedrin officer who was sent with others to arrest Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles but returned without the prisoner, declaring that "never has a man spoken like this man. " Eber represents the power of Jesus' teaching to overcome even hostile intention -- men sent to arrest him were so moved by his words that they could not bring themselves to carry out their orders. His refusal to arrest Jesus enraged the Sanhedrin but demonstrated that Jesus' impact extended even to the enforcement arm of his enemies.
