Jesus before the High Priest

19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching. 1
20 “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.
21 Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”
23 Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify as to what was wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why did you strike Me?”
24 Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
