Acts 23:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]Then said Paul, I knew not brethren, that he was the high Priest: for it is written, (A)Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 [b]But when Paul perceived that the one part were of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, he cried in the Council, Men and brethren, (B)I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: I am accused of the hope and resurrection of the dead.
7 [c]And when he had said this, there was a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, so that the multitude was divided.
