John 18:10

God's Word

Simon Peter had a sword. He drew it, attacked the chief priest’s servant, and cut off the servant’s right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

See the chapter Copy

Jesus said to Peter, “I can guarantee this truth: Tonight, before a rooster crows twice, you will say three times that you don’t know me.”

One of those standing there pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest’s servant.

But Peter said to him, “Lord, I’m ready to go to prison with you and to die with you.”

One of the chief priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked him, “Didn’t I see you with Jesus in the garden?”
