John 18:19-24 - Jesus Before Annas

¹⁹ The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret. ²¹ Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”

²² When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, “Is that the way You answer the high priest?”

²³ Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”

²⁴ So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
