John 18:19-29

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

20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort ; and in secret have I said nothing.

21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me , what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said .

22 And when he had thus spoken , one of the officers which 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 smitest thou me?

24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

25 And Simon Peter stood * and warmed himself . They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said , I am not.

26 One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off , saith , Did not I see thee in the garden with him?

27 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew .

28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled ; but that they might eat the passover.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said , What accusation bring ye against this man?
