Luke 22:48-58

48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, "Lord, shall we strike 1with the sword?"
50 And one of them struck the servant[a] of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus said, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and 2officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 When 3I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is 4your hour, and 5the power of darkness."

Peter Denies Jesus

54 6Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house, 7and Peter was following at a distance.
55 8And when they had kindled a fire in the middle of 9the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.
56 Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, "This man also was with him."
57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
58 And a little later someone else saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."
