19 The high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine.

20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where all the Jews gather, and in secret I have said nothing.

21 Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.”

22 When he had said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
