Acts 23:2
To strike him on the mouth. The high priest flamed up in an instant
at the statement of Paul that he had acted in good conscience. "How
could such a renegade from Judaism be conscientious"? It is common in
the despotic East to order the mouths that are supposed to have spoken
falsely to be smitten. Ananias was high priest at this time, but was
removed on a charge brought by King Agrippa in A.D. 59 (Acts 25:13).
He was at last assassinated.
