3 Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, ³you whitewashed wall! Do you ⁴sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?"

4 But the bystanders said, "Do you revile God's high priest?

5 And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, '⁵YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF YOUR PEOPLE.' "
