Yochanan 18:19-24

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ Then the Kohen Gadol interrogated Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach about his talmidim and his torah (teaching).

²⁰ In reply, he said, In public I have spoken to the Olam Hazeh; I always taught in the Beit Haknesset and in the Beis Hamikdash, where all the Yehudim come together. Besod (in secret) I spoke nothing. [YESHAYAH 45:19]

²¹ Why do you put a she’elah (question) to me? Put a she’elah to the ones having heard what I spoke to them. Hinei, these ones have da’as of what things I said.

²² But these things having said, one of the mesharetim, one standing nearby, struck Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Is this the way to answer the Kohen Gadol? [SHEMOT 22:27]

²³ In reply, he spoke, If I spoke wrongly, give edut (testimony) about the wrong; but if tov, why do you strike me?

²⁴ Then Anan sent him, still in the akedah, to Caiapha the Kohen Gadol.
