John 18:7-14 New English Translation (NET)

7. Then Jesus asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

8. Jesus replied, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, let these men go.”

9. He said this to fulfill the word he had spoken, “I have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me.”

10. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, pulled it out and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his right ear. (Now the slave’s name was Malchus.)

11. But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?”

12. Then the squad of soldiers with their commanding officer and the officers of the Jewish leaders arrested Jesus and tied him up.

13. They brought him first to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.

14. (Now it was Caiaphas who had advised the Jewish leaders that it was to their advantage that one man die for the people.)
