John 18:19-24 ▼

19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, |I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

21 |Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.|

22 When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, |Is that the way You answer the high priest?|

23 Jesus answered him, |If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?|

24 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
