Acts 23:1-7

1PaulG3972 looked directlyG816 at theG3588 SanhedrinG48921 and saidG2036, “BrothersG435G80, IG1473 have conducted myselfG4176 before GodG2316 in allG3956 goodG18 conscienceG4893 toG891 thisG3778 dayG2250.”

2At thisG1161, theG3588 high priestG749 AnaniasG367 orderedG2004 thoseG3588 standing nearG3936 Paul to strikeG5180 himG846 on theG3588 mouthG4750.

3ThenG5119 PaulG3972 saidG2036 toG4314 himG846, “GodG2316 willG3195 strikeG5180 you, youG4771 whitewashedG2867 wallG5109! YouG4771 sitG2521 here to judgeG2919 meG1473 according toG2596 theG3588 lawG3551, yetG2532 you yourself violate the lawG3891 by commandingG2753 that IG1473 be struckG5180.”

4ButG1161 thoseG3588 standing nearbyG3936 saidG2036, “How dare you insultG3058 theG3588 high priestG749 of GodG2316!”

5“BrothersG80,” PaulG3972 repliedG5346, “I was not awareG3756G1492 thatG3754 he wasG1510 the high priestG749, forG1063 it is writtenG1125: ‘Do not speakG3756G2046 evilG2560 about the rulerG758 ofG3588 yourG4771 peopleG2992.’2”

6ThenG1161 PaulG3972, knowingG1097 thatG3754 some of themG1520G3313 wereG1510 SadduceesG4523 andG1161 theG3588 othersG2087 PhariseesG5330, called outG2896 inG1722 theG3588 SanhedrinG4892, “BrothersG435G80, IG1473 amG1510 a PhariseeG5330, the sonG5207 of a PhariseeG5330. It is because ofG4012 my hopeG1680 in the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498 that IG1473 am on trialG2919.”

7As soon asG3778G1161 heG846 had saidG2980 this, a disputeG4714 broke outG1096 between theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523, andG2532 theG3588 assemblyG4128 was dividedG4977.
