Exegesis
The explicit subject Paulos {Παῦλος | Paû-los} precedes the verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen}, forming a straightforward subject–verb sequence, while the prepositional phrase pros auton {πρὸς αὐτὸν | prós au-tón} specifies the addressee of Paul’s speech.
In context — Acts 23:3
Then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall . You are sitting to judge me according to the law, and while breaking the law you command me to be struck.”
