In the days of Herod, the king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And He commanded him, Tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And by coincidence a certain priest came down that way and seeing him, he passed by on the opposite side.

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

And laying hold on Him, they led Him away and brought Him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
