49. When those who were standing around him saw what was happening, they said, “Lord, should we strike them with our swords?”
50. And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51. Jesus said, “Stop! No more of this.” Then he touched the servant’s ear and healed him.
52. Those who came to arrest Jesus were the leading priests, the soldiers who guarded the Temple, and the elders. Jesus said to them, “You came out here with swords and clubs as though I were a criminal.
53. I was with you every day in the Temple, and you didn’t arrest me there. But this is your time—the time when darkness rules.”
54. They arrested Jesus, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed far behind them.
55. After the soldiers started a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat together, Peter sat with them.
