Commentary on Acts 23:2
Ananias's command to strike Paul on the mouth violated Jewish law requiring fair hearing before judgment (Leviticus 19:15). This illegal violence revealed the Sanhedrin's corruption and prejudice. The high priest, who should have modeled righteousness, instead demonstrated the moral bankruptcy of the religious establishment that had rejected the Messiah.
