John 18:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he.^[a] So if you are looking for me, let these people go.” ⁹ This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken, “I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.”^{(A) 10} Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus.
