He had not been in Jerusalem for a while and had never seen or met the high priest.
“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?” (Acts 23:3)
Paul knew he was in authority in the counsel. The same dignity was due him as the high priest. Paul just didn’t care for nor respected this sham trial.
