But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,

Now he was not self-moved in saying this, but as high priest for that year he was inspired to say that Jesus was to die for the nation??52 and not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting the scattered children of God.

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword with him, drew it and struck at the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.

and they took him first to Annas. For he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

But Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. This other disciple was an acquaintance of the high priest, and he went on with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard,

while Peter stood outside at the door. So this other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman at the door and brought Peter in.

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

When he said this, one of the attendants who stood near struck him and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

So Annas sent him over still bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the high priest's slaves, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you with him in the garden?"
