Kisah Para Rasul 23:4

23:4 Those standing near him ¹  said, “Do you dare insult ²  God’s high priest?”

[23:4]  ¹ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[23:4]  ² tn L&N 33.393 has for λοιδορέω (loidorew) “to speak in a highly insulting manner – ‘to slander, to insult strongly, slander, insult.’”

[23:4]  sn Insult God’s high priest. Paul was close to violation of the Mosaic law with his response, as the citation from Exod 22:28 in v. 5 makes clear.
