Peter cut off the ear of Malchus, the High Priest's slave:-
Joh 18:1 After Jesus had said this prayer, he left with his disciples and went across Kidron Brook. There was a garden in that place, and Jesus and his disciples went in.
Joh 18:2 Judas, the traitor, knew where it was, becausemany times Jesus had met there with his disciples.
Joh 18:3 So Judas went to the garden, taking with him a group of Roman soldiers, and some Temple guards sent by the chief priests and the Pharisees; they were armed and carried lanterns and torches....
Joh 18:10 Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the High Priest's slave, cutting off his right ear.The name of the slave was Malchus. Joh 18:11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back in its place! Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?"
Peter wasn't aiming for his ear - he was trying to split Malchus in two from top to bottom, but instead he ducked. As Malchus was the High Priest's slave, he would have been very close to him, so it is likely that Peter was actually after Caiaphas. (If he had not been stopped by Christ, Peter would have been guilty of the first-degree murder of the the High Priest, the Sanhedrin, Temple Guard, and the whole Roman army.)
