Bede the Venerable, on John 18:22

Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
John 18:22 · Douay-Rheims
“And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?”
On this verse:
“Sent Him bound, not that He was bound now for the first time, for they bound Him when they took Him. They sent Him bound as they had brought Him. Or perhaps He may have been loosed from His bonds for that hour, in order to be examined, after which He was bound again, and sent to Caiaphas.”
