Acts 23:3-5

New King James Version

³ Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and ^(A)do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

⁴ And those who stood by said, “Do you revile God’s high priest?”

⁵ Then Paul said, ^(B)“I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, ^(C)‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”
