Acts 23:1-7

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.
