Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You have no knowledge of anything;

He did not say this of himself, but being the high priest that year he said, as a prophet, that Jesus would be put to death for the nation;

Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, took it out and gave the high priest's servant a blow, cutting off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

They took him first to Annas, because Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the high priest that year.

And Simon Peter went after Jesus with another disciple. Now that disciple was a friend of the high priest and he went in with Jesus into the house of the high priest;

But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
