They spat on him and took the staff and struck him repeatedly on the head.

When Jesus had said this, one of the high priest's officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"

At that the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
