English Standard Version

¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, ^(A)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant^[a] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) ¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; ^(B)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas

¹² So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews^[b] arrested Jesus and bound him. ¹³ First they ^(C)led him to ^(D)Annas, for he was the father-in-law of ^(E)Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews ^(F)that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

Peter Denies Jesus

^15 (G)Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest, ^16 (H)but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in.
