19 The chief priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teachings. 20 Jesus answered him, |I have spoken publicly for everyone to hear. I have always taught in synagogues or in the temple courtyard, where all the Jews gather. I haven't said anything in secret. 21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. They know what I've said.| 22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing near Jesus slapped his face and said, |Is that how you answer the chief priest?| 23 Jesus replied to him, |If I've said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if I've told the truth, why do you hit me?| 24 Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, the chief priest. Jesus was still tied up. John 18:19-24, God's Word Translation.
