When he said this, one of the guards standing nearby slapped Jesus in the face. “Is that how you answer the high priest?” he said.
In context
20Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews gather. I said nothing in secret. 21Why question me? Ask those who heard what I said to them. They know what I said.” 22When he said this, one of the guards standing nearby slapped Jesus in the face. “Is that how you answer the high priest?” he said. 23Jesus replied, “If I said something wrong, testify to the wrong. But if I spoke well, why do you hit me?” 24Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
