(This validated the words in his prayer, "I didn't lose one of those you gave.")
10
Just then Simon Peter, who was carrying a sword, pulled it from its sheath and struck the Chief Priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. Malchus was the servant's name.
11
Jesus ordered Peter, "Put back your sword. Do you think for a minute I'm not going to drink this cup the Father gave me?"
12
Then the Roman soldiers under their commander, joined by the Jewish police, seized Jesus and tied him up.
13
They took him first to Annas, father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the Chief Priest that year.
14
It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.
15
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That other disciple was known to the Chief Priest, and so he went in with Jesus to the Chief Priest's courtyard.
16
Peter had to stay outside. Then the other disciple went out, spoke to the doorkeeper, and got Peter in.
17
The young woman who was the doorkeeper said to Peter, "Aren't you one of this man's disciples?" He said, "No, I'm not."
18
The servants and police had made a fire because of the cold and were huddled there warming themselves. Peter stood with them, trying to get warm.
19
Annas interrogated Jesus regarding his disciples and his teaching.
