19 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning His disciples, and concerning His teaching; 20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke freely to the world, I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret; 21 why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them; behold, these have known what I said.” 22 And He having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a slap, saying, “Thus do You answer the chief priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, “If I spoke ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why do you strike Me?” 24 Annas then sent Him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
