In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,

And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.

And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.

And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance.
