Hechos 23:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 23:4

And they that stood by
The members of the sanhedrim that were next to the apostle; or the servants of the high priest, since they are said to stand, whereas those of that court sat: said,

revilest thou God's high priest?
which seems to confirm that the apostle's words were not a bare prediction, but an imprecation, since they are charged with reproaching, reviling, and speaking evil of him; and the aggravation of which was not only that the person reviled was a priest, an high priest, but an high priest of God; though this could not have been proved, for there was now no high priest of God but Jesus Christ; the priesthood was changed and abrogated, and there were no more high priests among men of God's appointing and approving.

Hechos 23:4 In-Context

2 Y el sumo sacerdote Ananías ordenó a los que estaban junto a él, que lo golpearan en la boca.

3 Entonces Pablo le dijo: ¡Dios te golpeará a ti, pared blanqueada! ¿Te sientas tú para juzgarme conforme a la ley, y violas la ley ordenando que me golpeen?

4 Los que estaban allí observando, dijeron: ¿Al sumo sacerdote de Dios injurias

5 Y Pablo dijo: No sabía, hermanos, que él era el sumo sacerdote; porque escrito está: NO HABLARAS MAL DE UNA DE LAS AUTORIDADES DE TU PUEBLO.

6 Entonces Pablo, dándose cuenta de que una parte eran saduceos y otra fariseos, alzó la voz en el concilio: Hermanos, yo soy fariseo, hijo de fariseos; se me juzga a causa de la esperanza de la resurrección de los muertos.
