19 So the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20
Jesus replied to him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple [courts] where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
21
Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these [people] know what I said."
22
Now [when] he had said these [things], one of the officers who was standing by gave a slap in the face to Jesus, saying, "Do you reply to the high priest in this way?"
23
Jesus replied to him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what [is] wrong! But if [I have spoken] correctly, why do you strike me?"
24
Then Annas sent him, tied up, to Caiaphas the high priest.
