Acts 23:3
Acts 23:3 God shall smite thee, etc. These words, spoken by the prisoner, indignant at the mockery of justice, were rather a prediction than an imprecation. I have just stated that this violent man came to an untimely death. The insult to Paul reminds us of a similar one to his Master before the same body (John 18:22). [Thou] white wall. By "whited wall" Paul means a hypocrite. See PNT "Mt 23:27".
