The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
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.
“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
