Joh 18, Verses 10–11English original
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
In that He calls it a cup, He shews how pleasing and acceptable death for the salvation of men was to Him.
