The High Priest Questions Jesus

19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken ^lopenly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and ^min the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by ⁿstruck Jesus with his hand, saying, ^o“Is that how you answer the high priest?” 23 Jesus answered him, ^p“If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?”

71 And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
