Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, named Caiaphas;

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew out his sword and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

Now those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

And the high priest stood up and said to Him, “Do You not answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.”

Then the high priest tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

how he entered the house of God around the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”

But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

Then they led Jesus away to the high priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes gathered together.

And Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

And the high priest stood up in their midst and questioned Jesus, saying, “You answer nothing? What are these men testifying against You?”

But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him and said to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

And tearing his tunics, the high priest said, “What further need do we have of witnesses?

And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

Now having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest, but Peter was following at a distance.

But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,

Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,

Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus.

and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

And Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,

but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

And when He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the slaves of the high priest, being a relative of the one whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.
