John 18:10-14

10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, pulled it out and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his right ear. (Now the slave’s name was Malchus.)

11But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

12Then the squad of soldiers with their commanding officer and the officers of the Jewish leaders arrested Jesus and tied him up.

13They brought him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14(Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)
