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.

I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said this, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?”(B) 23 Jesus answered, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”(C) 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.(D)
