Acts 23:3-5

The Voice

Paul: ³ You hypocrite! God will slap you! How dare you sit in judgment and claim to represent the law, while you violate the law by ordering me to be struck for no reason?

Bystanders: ⁴ The nerve of you insulting the high priest of God!

Paul: ⁵ I’m sorry, my brothers. I didn’t realize this was the high priest. The law warns us to not curse the ruler of the people.^[a]
