John 18:19-23

191The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

20Jesus answered him, “I 2have spoken openly to the world; I always 3taught in 4synagogues and 5in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret.

21Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.”

22But when He said this, one of the 6officers, who was standing nearby, 7struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

238Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
