One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Did I not see you in the garden with him?”
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”
