Then the high priest Ananias ordered those who were standing next Paul to strike him on the mouth.
As he said this, one of the attendants who stood by gave him a blow, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?"
Five days later down came the high priest Ananias with some elders and a barrister called Tertullus. They laid information before the governor against Paul.
Then they spat in his face and buffeted him, some of them cuffing him
"If I have said anything wrong," replied Jesus, "prove it; if I said what was true, why strike me?"
