Acts 23:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 Paul replied, ‘My brothers, I did not know that this man is the most important priest.[a] Our Jewish law says, “Do not say bad things against the man who rules your people.” So I should not have said anything bad against him.’
6 Then Paul saw that there were some Sadducees and also some Pharisees in the meeting. So he shouted out to the whole group of Jewish leaders, ‘My brothers, I am a Pharisee! My father was also a Pharisee. I believe that dead people will certainly rise and they will live again. That is the reason why you are judging me today.’
7 As soon as Paul said that, the Pharisees and Sadducees began to argue with each other. People in the group thought different things about Paul.
