Judas Betrays Jesus and Peter Cuts Off the Ear of Malchus
“Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one. Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.” John 18:7-10 ASV
Illustration of Jesus’ betrayal. Judas leans close to Jesus, having just kissed his cheek. The people, priests, and soldiers gather around, holding swords and torches. One man is tying Jesus’ leg with rope. Others chase the disciples away. Peter is in the foreground with Malchus down on the ground. Peter’s sword is raised.
