Compare all
20 Jesus answered him, a“I spoke openly to the world. I always taught bin synagogues and cin the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.  
21 Why do you ask Me? Ask athose who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”  
22 And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by astruck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, “Do You answer the high priest like that?”  
23 Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?”
24 aThen Annas sent Him bound to bCaiaphas the high priest.  

Peter Denies Twice More

25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. aTherefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!”

John 18:22

When he had said this (tauta autou eipontov). Genitive absolute of second aorist active participle of eipon, to say.

Standing by (paresthkwv). Perfect active (intransitive) participle of paristhmi (transitive), to place beside. One of the temple police who felt his importance as protector of Annas.

Struck Jesus with his hand (edwken rapisma tw Ihsou). Late word rapisma is from rapizw, to smite with a rod or with the palm of the hand (Matthew 26:67). It occurs only three times in the N.T. (Mark 14:65; John 18:22; John 19:3), in each of which it is uncertain whether the blow is with a rod or with the palm of the hand (probably this, a most insulting act). The papyri throw no real light on it. "He gave Jesus a slap in the face." Cf. II Corinthians 11:20.

So (outwv). As Jesus had done in verse John 18:21, a dignified protest in fact by Jesus.
