Hence it was that when Paul had spoken freely to the Council, saying, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day: presently Ananias the high Priest, commanded those that stood by him to smite him on the mouth (Acts 23.1, 2.) In which case Christ himself was smitten by an Officer that stood by (John 18.22.) From all which Scripture testimonies it is more then manifest, that to smite a man on the cheek, is to disgrace, because they who fell under disgrace, were usually smitten on the cheek: and this I ⟨p. 271⟩take to be the most suitable interpretation of Jobs complaint in this place, They smite me on the cheek reproachfully.
