Acts 23:3-5

New International Version

³ Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall!^(A) You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck!”^(B)

⁴ Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God’s high priest!”

⁵ Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’^[a]”^(C)
