19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, 'I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them. Behold, these know the things which I said.'
22 When he had said this, one of the officers standing by slapped Jesus with his hand, saying, 'Do you answer the high priest like that?'
23 Jesus answered him, 'If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?'
