New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 18
¹² So the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him,
¹³ and led Him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.
¹⁵ Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest,
¹⁶ but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.
¹⁷ Then the slave-girl who kept the door *said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you?" He *said, "I am not."
¹⁸ Now the slaves and the officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold and they were warming themselves; and Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself.
¹⁹ The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
²¹ Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."
²² When He had said this, one of the officers standing nearby struck Jesus, saying, "Is that the way You answer the high priest?"
