*
The high priest therefore demanded of Jesus concerning his disciples and concerning his doctrine .
*
Jesus answered him ,
I spoke openly to the world ;
I taught always in [
the ]
synagogue and in the temple ,
where all the Jews come together ,
and in secret I have spoken nothing .
*
Why demandest thou of me ?
Demand of those who have heard ,
what I have spoken to them ;
behold ,
they know what I have said .
*
But as he said these things ,
one of the officers who stood by gave a blow on the face to Jesus ,
saying ,
Answerest thou the high priest thus ?
*
Jesus answered him ,
If I have spoken evil ,
bear witness of the evil ;
but if well ,
why smitest thou me ?

Annas [

had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest .
