John 18:19-24 - Jesus Before Annas
19 Meanwhile, the head priest asked Jesus about His disciples and His teaching. [Note: This was probably Annas, the former "head priest" who later sent Jesus to the current head priest, Caiaphas. See verse 24].
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?"
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, tell me what it was. But if [I spoke] properly, why did you hit me?"
24 So, Annas had Him tied up and sent Him [on] to Caiaphas, the head priest.
