Acts 23:6-10

6But perceiving that one group were 1Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in 2the 3Council, “4Brethren, 5I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for 6the hope and resurrection of the dead!” 7As he said this, there occurred a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8For 7the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. 9And there occurred a great uproar; and some of 8the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, “9We find nothing wrong with this man; 10suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?” 10And as a great dissension was developing, the 11commander was afraid Paul would be torn to pieces by them and ordered the troops to go down and take him away from them by force, and bring him into 12the barracks.
