John 18:6-10
18:6 So when Jesus
said to them, “I am he,” they retreated
and fell to the ground.
18:7 Then Jesus
asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”
18:8 Jesus replied,
“I told you that I am he. If you are looking for
me, let these men
go.”
18:9 He said this
to fulfill the word he had spoken,
“I have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me.”
18:10 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.)
