19. The high priest asked Jesus questions about his followers and his teaching.
20. Jesus answered, “I have spoken openly to everyone. I have always taught in synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Jews come together. I never said anything in secret.
21. So why do you question me? Ask the people who heard my teaching. They know what I said.”
22. When Jesus said this, one of the guards standing there hit him. The guard said, “Is that the way you answer the high priest?”
23. Jesus answered him, “If I said something wrong, then say what was wrong. But if what I said is true, why do you hit me?”
