John 18:20

Jesus before the High Priest

19Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.20“I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus answered. “I always taught in the synagogues and at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret.21Why are you asking Me? Ask those who heard My message. Surely they know what I said.”
