Acts 23:3

Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee - as indeed He did; for he was killed by an assassin during the Jewish war (Josephus J. W. 2: 17. 9),

Thou whited wall - that is, hypocrite! (See ,) This epithet, however, though correctly describing the man, mast not be defended as addressed to a judge; although the remonstrance which follows,

For sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to this law?

ought to have put him to shame.
