John 18 — Context

10

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.

11

So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

12

So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,

13

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

14

Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

15

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,

16

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.
