Acts of the Apostles 23:2

In context

1Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience up to this day.” 2At that the high priest Ananias ordered the men standing near him to strike him on the mouth. 3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me by the law, and you break the law by ordering me to be struck?” 4Those standing nearby said, “Do you dare insult the high priest of God?”
