Acts 23:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there judging me according to the law, and then you order them to strike me contrary to the law!”

⁴ Those who were standing nearby said, “Do you dare to insult God’s high priest?”

⁵ Paul replied, “I did not know, brothers, that he is the high priest. Indeed, it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil about a ruler of your people.’”^[a]
