John 18:6-11

English Standard Version

^6 (A)When Jesus^[a] said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. ⁷ So he asked them again, ^(B)“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” ^9 (C)This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, ^(D)having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant^[b] and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) ¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; ^(E)shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
