John 18:19-24
New American Standard Bible
19 (A)The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I (B)have spoken openly to the world; I always (C)taught in [a]synagogues and (D)in the temple area, where all the Jews congregate; and I said nothing in secret. 21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look: these people know what I said.” 22 But when He said this, one of the (E)officers, who was standing nearby, (F)struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?” 23 (G)Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?” 24 (H)So Annas sent Him bound to (I)Caiaphas the high priest.

The High Priest Questions Jesus
19 (A)The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken (B)openly (C)to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. (D)I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, (E)“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 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?” 24 (F)Annas then sent him bound to (G)Caiaphas the high priest.
