9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, [As to] those whom thou hast given me, I have not lost one of them. 10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and smote the bondman of the high priest and cut off his right ear; and the bondman's name was Malchus. Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it? 12The band therefore, and the chiliarch, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him: 13and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
