Matthew leaves the ear off:
Matthew 26 (KJV)
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
Mark leaves the ear off:
Mark 14 (KJV)
47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
John leaves the ear off:
John 18 (KJV)
10 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.
