19

Then the high priest put questions to Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

20

Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come and I have said nothing secretly.

21

Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

22

When he said this, one of the police by his side gave him a blow with his open hand, saying, Do you give such an answer to the high priest?

23

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

24

Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.
