John 18:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

²⁰ “I’ve spoken to the world quite openly,” replied Jesus. “I always taught in the synagogue and in the Temple, where all the Judaeans gather. I didn’t say anything in secret. ²¹ Why are you asking me? There were people who listened to me. Ask them what I said to them. Don’t you see? They know what I said.”

²² When Jesus said that, one of the attendants standing there gave him a slap on the face.

“Is that how you answer the high priest?” he said.
