Handelingen 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.

Handelingen 23:4 In-Context

2 Maar de hogepriester Ananias beval dengenen, die bij hem stonden, dat zij hem op den mond zouden slaan.
3 Toen zeide Paulus tot hem: God zal u slaan, gij gewitte wand! Zit gij ook om mij te oordelen naar de wet, en beveelt gij, tegen de wet, dat men mij zal slaan?
4 En die daarbij stonden, zeiden: Scheldt gij den hogepriester Gods
5 En Paulus zeide: Ik wist niet, broeders! dat het de hogepriester was; want er is geschreven: Den overste uws volks zult gij niet vloeken.
6 En Paulus wetende dat het ene deel was van de Sadduceen, en het andere van de Farizeen, riep in den raad: Mannen broeders, ik ben een Farizeer, eens Farizeers zoon; ik word over de hoop en opstanding der doden geoordeeld.
