Jesus Before Annas
20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world; I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Jews assemble. I have never said anything in secret. 21 Why are you asking me? Ask the people who have heard me about what I said to them. Look, these people know what I said." 22 When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there struck Him [in the face], saying, "Is that any way to talk to the head priest?"
