Acts 23:5-7
New Matthew Bible
5 Then Paul said, I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest. For it is written: You shall not curse the ruler of your people.
6 When Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is concerning the hope and resurrection from death that I am on trial.
7 And when he had said this, there arose a quarrel between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
