Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 23:4 In-Context

2 Der Hohepriester Ananias aber befahl denen, die bei ihm standen, ihn auf den Mund zu schlagen.
3 Da sprach Paulus zu ihm: Gott wird dich schlagen, du getünchte Wand! Und du, sitzest du da, mich nach dem Gesetz zu richten, und, wider das Gesetz handelnd, befiehlst du mich zu schlagen?
4 Die Dabeistehenden aber sprachen: Schmähst du den Hohenpriester Gottes
5 Und Paulus sprach: Ich wußte nicht, Brüder, daß es der Hohepriester ist; denn es steht geschrieben: "Von dem Obersten deines Volkes sollst du nicht übel reden".
6 Da aber Paulus wußte, daß der eine Teil von den Sadducäern, der andere aber von den Pharisäern war, rief er in dem Synedrium: Brüder, ich bin ein Pharisäer, ein Sohn von Pharisäern; wegen der Hoffnung und Auferstehung der Toten werde ich gerichtet.
