The high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth.
Then spat they in his face, and beat him with their fists. And other smote him with the palm of their hands on the face,
When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Iesus on the face saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?
Iesus answered him: If I have evil spoken, bear witness of the evil: if I have well spoken, why smitest thou me?
¶ After v. days, Ananias the high priest descended, with seniors, and with a certain orator named Tartullus, and enformed the ruler against Paul.
