John 18:19-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have said nothing in secret.

²¹ Why dost thou ask me? Ask those who heard me what I have said unto them; behold, they know what I said.

²² And when he had thus spoken, one of the servants who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³ Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why dost thou smite me?

²⁴ Thus Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
