One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?”
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, “Surely you are one of them; your accent gives you away.”
A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied.
When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
