Then the men approached, seized Jesus, and arrested Him. 51 Suddenly, one of those with Jesus reached for his sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who take up the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Do you not think I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way? 55 At that time, Jesus said to the crowd, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as if I were a robber? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. 56 But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled."

If you are looking for me, let these men go.' 9 This was to fulfill the words he had spoken: 'I have not lost one of those you gave me.' 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.
