Acts 23:1-10

1And PaulG3972, lookingG816 stedfastly on the councilG4892, saidG3004, Brethren, I have lived before GodG2316 in all goodG18 conscienceG4893 until this dayG2250. 2And the highG749 priestG749 AnaniasG367 commandedG2004 them that stoodG3936 by him to smite him on the mouthG4750. 3Then saidG3004 PaulG3972 unto him, GodG2316 shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judgeG2919 me accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the lawG3551? 4And they that stoodG3936 by saidG3004, Revilest thou God’s highG749 priestG749? 5And PaulG3972 saidG3004, I knew not, brethren, that he wasG1510 highG749 priestG749: for it isG1510 writtenG1125, Thou shalt not speakG3004 evilG2560 of a rulerG758 of thy peopleG2992. 6But when PaulG3972 perceived that the oneG1520 partG3313 wereG1510 SadduceesG4523 and the otherG2087 PhariseesG5330, he criedG2896 out in the councilG4892, Brethren, I amG1510 a PhariseeG5330, a sonG5207 of PhariseesG5330: touching the hopeG1680 and resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 I amG1510 called in question. 7And when he had so saidG2980, there aroseG1096 a dissension between the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523; and the assembly was divided. 8For the SadduceesG4523 sayG3004 that there isG1510 no resurrectionG386, neither angelG32, nor spiritG4151; but the PhariseesG5330 confessG3670 both. 9And there aroseG1096 a greatG3173 clamorG2906: and some of the scribesG1122 of the Pharisees’ partG3313 stoodG450 up, and strove, sayingG3004, We findG2147 no evilG2556 in this manG444: and what if a spiritG4151 hath spokenG2980 to him, or an angelG32? 10And when there aroseG1096 a greatG4183 dissension, the chief captain, fearingG5399 lestG3361 PaulG3972 should be tornG1288 in pieces by them, commandedG2753 the soldiers to goG2597 downG2597 and take him by force from among them, and bringG71 him into the castle.
