Johannes 18,22

20 Jesus svarte: "Jeg har talt åpent til verden. Jeg har alltid undervist i synagogene og i tempelet, hvor alle jødene samles. Jeg har ikke sagt noe i hemmelighet.

21 Hvorfor spør du meg? Spør dem som har hørt meg. De vet sikkert hva jeg har sagt."

Da han sa dette, slo en av offiserene som sto i nærheten Jesus og sa: "Er det slik du svarer ypperstepresten?"

23 Jesus svarte: "Hvis jeg har talt galt, vitne om det gale; men hvis rett, hvorfor slår du meg?"

24 Annas sendte ham da, fortsatt bundet, til Kaifas, ypperstepresten.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
