John 18:22-24
EasyEnglish Bible

22 When Jesus said this, one of the soldiers hit him on the face. The soldier said, ‘You should not speak to the leader of the priests like that!’ 23 Jesus replied, ‘If I said something wrong, tell us what it is. But if I said something that is true, you should not have hit me.’[a] 24 Then Annas sent Jesus to Caiaphas, the leader of the priests.[b] Jesus still had ropes tied round his arms.
