He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
10
Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11
Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
12
So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
13
They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
14
(It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")

Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
16
But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
17
This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.

So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
