There was in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

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

Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.
