John 18:22 Context
20Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world, I euer taught in the Synagogue, and in the Temple, whither the Iewes alwayes resort, and in secret haue I said nothing: 21Why askest thou me? Aske them which heard me, what I haue said vnto them: behold, they know what I said. 22And when hee had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by, stroke Iesus with the palme of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the hie priest so? 23Iesus answered him, If I haue spoken euill, beare witnesse of the euill: but if well, why smitest thou me? 24Now Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the high Priest.
