John 18:19-22 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

19. The high priest questioned Jesus about his followers and his teaching.

20. But Jesus told him, “I have spoken freely in front of everyone. And I have always taught in our meeting places and in the temple, where all our people come together. I have not said anything in secret.

21. Why are you questioning me? Why don't you ask the people who heard me? They know what I have said.”

22. As soon as Jesus said this, one of the temple police hit him and said, “That's no way to talk to the high priest!”
