⁹ Just then^[a] Jesus met them and said, “Good morning!” They came up, took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.^(A)

³¹ Seeing this in advance, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah:

¹⁸ Then also, some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers argued with him. Some said, “What is this pseudo-intellectual^[a] trying to say?”

Others replied, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign deities”—because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the Resurrection.^[b](A)

³¹ because He has set a day when He is going to judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”^(A)

³² When they heard about resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him. But others said, “We’d like to hear from you again about this.”

⁶ When Paul realized that one part of them were Sadducees and the other part were Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees!^(A) I am being judged because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead!”^{(B) 7} When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. ⁸ For the Sadducees say there is no resurrection,^(C) and no angel or spirit, but the Pharisees affirm them all.

⁹ The shouting grew loud, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’^(D) party got up and argued vehemently: “We find nothing evil in this man.^(E) What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”^{[a](F) 10} When the dispute became violent, the commander feared that Paul might be torn apart by them and ordered the troops to go down, rescue him from them, and bring him into the barracks.^(G)

¹⁵ And I have a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there is going to be a resurrection,^[a](A) both of the righteous and the unrighteous.^(B)

²¹ or about this one statement I cried out while standing among them, ‘Today I am being judged before you concerning the resurrection of the dead.’”
