Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.
20
Jesus replied, “Everyone knows what I teach. I have preached regularly in the synagogues and the Temple, where the people 1 gather. I have not spoken in secret.
21
Why are you asking me this question? Ask those who heard me. They know what I said.”
22
Then one of the Temple guards standing nearby slapped Jesus across the face. “Is that the way to answer the high priest?” he demanded.
23
Jesus replied, “If I said anything wrong, you must prove it. But if I’m speaking the truth, why are you beating me?”
24
Then Annas bound Jesus and sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
