John 18:19-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)

19. Then the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.

20. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue and in the temple [area], where the Jews [habitually] congregate (assemble); and I have spoken nothing secretly.

21. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard [Me] what I said to them. See! They know what I said.

22. But when He said this, one of the attendants who stood by struck Jesus, saying, Is that how You answer the high priest?

23. Jesus replied, If I have said anything wrong [if I have spoken abusively, if there was evil in what I said] tell what was wrong with it. But if I spoke rightly and properly, why do you strike Me?

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