(Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest in that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. (Now the name of the slave was Malchus.)

Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the slaves of the high priest, who was related to the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
