Exegesis
The genitive tou archiereōs {τοῦ ἀρχιερέως | tou archiereôs} functions as a possessive genitive, identifying the servant as belonging to or serving the high priest, which heightens the narrative tension.
In context — Mark 14:47
But one of those who stood nearby, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear .
