Acts 23:1-3

Living Bible

23 Gazing intently at the Council, Paul began:

“Brothers, I have always lived before God in all good conscience!”

² Instantly Ananias the High Priest commanded those close to Paul to slap him on the mouth.

³ Paul said to him, “God shall slap you, you whitewashed pigpen.^[a] What kind of judge are you to break the law yourself by ordering me struck like that?”
