Acts 23:1-3

1Now looking intently at 1the 2Council, Paul said, “34Brothers, 5I have 6lived my life with an entirely good conscience before God up to this day.”

2But the high priest 7Ananias commanded those standing beside him 8to strike him on the mouth.

3Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, 9you whitewashed wall! Do you 10sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law, order me to be struck?”
