John 18:7-12

7Once more he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” And again they replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

8“I told you that I Am he,” Jesus said. “And since I am the one you want, let these others go.”

9He did this to fulfill his own statement: “I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.”

10Then Simon Peter drew a sword and slashed off the right ear of Malchus, the high priest’s slave.

11But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Shall I not drink from the cup of suffering the Father has given me?”

12So the soldiers, their commanding officer, and the Temple guards arrested Jesus and tied him up.
