2 Le souverain sacrificateur Ananias ordonna à ceux qui étaient près de lui de le frapper sur la bouche.
3 Alors Paul lui dit: Dieu te frappera, muraille blanchie! Tu es assis pour me juger selon la loi, et tu violes la loi en ordonnant qu’on me frappe!
4 Ceux qui étaient près de lui dirent: Tu insultes le souverain sacrificateur de Dieu!
