Acts 23:3 WBT

¹  And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

²  And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth.

³  Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

⁴  And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

⁵  Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
