wmth - John:18:19-24

wmth@John:18:19 @ So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.

wmth@John:18:20 @ »As for me,« replied Jesus, »I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.

wmth@John:18:21 @ Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said.«

wmth@John:18:22 @ Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, »Is that the way you answer the High Priest?«

wmth@John:18:23 @ »If I have spoken wrongly,« replied Jesus, »bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?«

wmth@John:18:24 @ So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
