[18:19] The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
[18:20] Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.
[18:21] Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.”
[18:22] When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”
[18:23] Jesus answered him, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?”
[18:24] Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
