John 18:7-14 World English Bible (WEB)

7. Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

8. Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”

9. that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”

10. Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

11. Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”

12. So the detachment, the commanding officer, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,

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

14. Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that one man should perish for the people.
