John 18:7-12

7So Jesus asked them again, ‘Who are you looking for?’ They said, ‘Jesus, who comes from Nazareth.’

8Jesus replied, ‘I have told you already, that is who I am. Since it is me that you are looking for, let these other men go.’

9Jesus said this because earlier he had said, ‘I have lost none of those people that you gave to me.’ This made what he had spoken earlier really happen.

10Simon Peter had a sword. He took hold of it and he attacked the servant of the leader of the priests. He cut off the servant's right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11Then Jesus said to Peter, ‘Put your sword away in its place! My Father has decided what great pain I must have. I will obey him completely.’

12The group of soldiers, with their captain and the Jewish officers, took hold of Jesus. They tied him with ropes.
