* And Paul , earnestly beholding the council , said , Men and brethren , I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day . * And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth . * Then said Paul unto him , God shall smite thee , thou whited wall : for sittest thou to judge me after the law , and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law ? * And they that stood by said , Revilest thou God 's high priest ? * Then said Paul , I wist not , brethren , that he was the high priest : for it is written , Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people .
