¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

⁴⁷ Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

⁵¹ With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword,^(A) drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.^(B)

⁵² “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.^{(C) 53} Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?^{(D) 54} But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled^(E) that say it must happen in this way?”

⁴⁹ When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”^{(A) 50} And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

²⁶ One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off,^(A) challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”^(B)

³³ But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.”^(A)

³⁰ “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “today—yes, tonight—before the rooster crows twice^[a] you yourself will disown me three times.”^(A)
