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.)

¹¹ Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup^(A) the Father has given me?”

¹² Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials^(B) arrested Jesus. They bound him ¹³ and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,^(C) the high priest that year. ¹⁴ Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.^(D)

³⁵ But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,^(A) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

³⁹ Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup^(A) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”^(B)

² I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold^(A) as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.^{(B) 3} For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.^{(C) 4} The weapons we fight with^(D) are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power^(E) to demolish strongholds.^(F)
