19. The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;
20. Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;
21. why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.'
22. And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'
23. Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?'
24. Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.
