BLB(i)
1 And having looked intently at the Council, Paul said, “Men, brothers, I have lived as a citizen in all good conscience to God unto this day.”
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his mouth.
3 Then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, whitewashed wall! And you, do you sit judging me according to the Law, and, violating law, command me to be struck?”
4 Now those who stood by said, “Do you insult the high priest of God?”
5 And Paul was saying, “I was not aware, brothers, that he is high priest; for it has been written: ‘You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.’”
