Simon Peter had brought along a sword. He pulled it out and struck at Malchus, the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
Someone standing there pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
One of the high priest's servants was there. He was a relative of the servant whose ear Peter had cut off, and he asked, “Didn't I see you in the garden with that man?”
Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to jail and even to die with you.”
Jesus replied, “This very night before a rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don't know me.”
