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