Acts 23:1-3

1And looking intently at the council, Paul said, “Brothers, aI have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.” 2And the high priest bAnanias commanded those who stood by him cto strike him on the mouth. 3Then Paul said to him, “God is going to strike you, you dwhitewashed ewall! Are you sitting to judge me according to the law, and yet fcontrary to the law you gorder me to be struck?”

Acts 24:16

16So I always htake pains to have a iclear conscience toward both God and man.

Acts 24:20-21

20Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council, 21other than this one thing jthat I cried out while standing among them: ‘It is with respect to the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you this day.’”
