18:12Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

18:13And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

18:14Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

18:19The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

18:20Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

18:21Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

18:22And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

18:23Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

18:24Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
