[18:19] The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
[18:20] Jesus answered, “I have always spoken publicly to everyone; all my teaching was done in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the people come together. I have never said anything in secret.
[18:21] Why, then, do you question me? Question the people who heard me. Ask them what I told them—they know what I said.”
[18:22] When Jesus said this, one of the guards there slapped him and said, “How dare you talk like that to the High Priest!”
[18:23] Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything wrong, tell everyone here what it was. But if I am right in what I have said, why do you hit me?”
[18:24] Then Annas sent him, still tied up, to Caiaphas the High Priest.
