Acts 23:2-5

2The high priest Ananias ordered those who were standing next to him to strike him on the mouth.

3Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! You are sitting there judging me according to the law, and yet in violation of the law are you ordering me to be struck?”

4Those standing nearby said, “Do you dare revile God’s high priest?”

5“I did not know, brothers, that he was the high priest,” replied Paul. “For it is written, You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.”
