John 18:19-24

19 ¹The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

20 Jesus answered him, "I ²have spoken openly to the world; I always ³taught in synagogues and ⁴in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

21 "Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."

22 When He had said this, one of the ⁵officers standing nearby ⁶struck * Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"

23 ⁷Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"

24 ⁸So Annas sent Him bound to ⁹Caiaphas the high priest.
