← John 18:20 [words of Jesus]	John 18:21 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	John 18:22 →
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.	Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.	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?
