The High Priest Questions Jesus
18:19-24pp -- Mt 26:59-68; Mk 14:55-65; Lk 22:63-71
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 "I
have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in
synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said
nothing in secret. 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." 22 When
Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face.
"Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded. 23 "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" 24 Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
