The high priest father-in-law, Annas questioned Jesus concerning both his doctrine and his disciples. Jesus did not betray his disciples though they had all forsaken him (John 16:32).
Jesus recognizing the inconsistencies of his Interrogator, turned the questions back on him. "I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said.”
Jesus publicly stated who he was and why he had come. He did not speak for others. He spoke only for his Father. He did not expose his disciples when they forsake him, nor took revenge. He remained true to his Father's mission and never allowed his actions to be controlled by others.
