There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.

And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side;

And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.

And having laid hold on him, they led him away, and they led him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.
