Hearing before
Annas
John 18:12–14, 19–23
12Then the detachment of soldiers, the captain, and the Jewish temple
police arrested Jesus and tied Him up. 13First they led Him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,
who was high priest that year. 14Caiaphas was the one who had
advised the Jews that it was advantageous that one man should die for the
people.… 19The high priest questioned
Jesus about His disciples and about His teaching.
20“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered him. “I have
always taught in the synagogue and in the temple complex, where all the Jews
congregate, and I haven’t spoken anything in secret. 21Why do you question Me? Question those
who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”
22When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by
slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”
23“If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?”[1]
