First Examined by Annas Spring A. D. 30 Friday Jerusalem John Joh 18:12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,Joh 18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.Joh 18:14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
Joh 18:19 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.Joh 18:20 Jesus 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.Joh 18:21 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.Joh 18:22 And 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?Joh 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
