John 18:21-23

International Standard Version

²¹ Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said. These are the people who know what I said.”

²² When he said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Jesus on the face and demanded, “Is that any way to answer the high priest?”

²³ Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was.^[a] But if I have told the truth, why do you hit me?”
