John 18:22 CPDV

²⁰  Jesus responded to him: 'I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews meet. And I have said nothing in secret.

²¹  Why do you question me? Question those who heard what I said to them. Behold, they know these things that I have said.'

²²  Then, when he had said this, one of the attendants standing nearby struck Jesus, saying: 'Is this the way you answer the high priest?'

²³  Jesus answered him: 'If I have spoken wrongly, offer testimony about the wrong. But if I have spoken correctly, then why do you strike me?'

²⁴  And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
