Exegesis
The genitive phrase tou archiereos {τοῦ ἀρχιερέως | toû archieréos} “of the high priest” modifies ton doulon {τὸν δοῦλον | tón doûlon} “the servant,” marking the victim’s affiliation with the high priestly household and sharpening the contrast between the two opposing groups.
In context — Luke 22:50
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear .
