It came to pass in the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest, named Zacharias, from the division of Abijah, and his wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

But it came to pass during his service as a priest in the course of his division in the presence of God,

And he commanded him to tell no man, but, After going, show thyself to the priest, and bring concerning thy cleansing, just as Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

And by coincidence a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And a certain one of them struck the bondman of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

And having seized him, they led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from afar.
