1 AND as Paul beheld their assembly, he said, Men, my brethren, I have lived i n all good conscience before God until this day. 2 And the high priest An-a-ni’as commanded those who stood by his side to strike Paul on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, God shall smite you, O you hypocrite: for you sit to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself transgress the law, when you command that I be smitten. 4 And those who stood by said to him, Do you even revile the high priest of God? 5 Then Paul said to them, Brothers, I did not know that he was a high priest: for it is written, You shall not revile the ruler of your people.
