John 18:19-24

19While this was happening, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

20Jesus replied, “I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues and in the temple courts, where all the Jewish people assemble together. I have said nothing in secret.

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

22When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest’s officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, “Is that the way you answer the high priest?”

23Jesus replied, “If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?”

24Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.
