19 In the mean time, the high priest having question'd Jesus about his disciples, and his doctrine. 20 Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I was continually teaching in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort, and in secret have I said nothing. 21 why do you question me? ask those who heard me, what discourse I had with them: they know very well what I said. 22 Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus replied, if I have said any thing injurious, show then wherein; but if I said right, why do you smite me? 24 now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
