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 El príncipe de los sacerdotes, Ananías, mandó entonces a los que estaban delante de él, que le hiriesen en la boca.

3 Entonces Pablo le dijo: Dios te herirá a ti , pared blanqueada; ¿y estás tú sentado para juzgarme conforme a la ley, y contra la ley me mandas herir?

4 Y los que estaban presentes dijeron: ¿Al sumo sacerdote de Dios maldices

5 Y Pablo dijo: No sabía, hermanos, que era el príncipe de los sacerdotes; pues escrito está: Al príncipe de tu pueblo no maldecirás.

6 Entonces Pablo, sabiendo que una parte era de saduceos, y la otra de fariseos, clamó en el concilio: Varones hermanos, yo soy fariseo, hijo de fariseo: de la esperanza y de la resurrección de los muertos soy yo juzgado.
