Context of John 18:12
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. 11Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it? The 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. 14But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.
