Acts 23:5 CPDV

³  Then Paul said to him: 'God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall! For would you sit and judge me according to the law, when, contrary to the law, you order me to be struck?'

⁴  And those who were standing nearby said, 'Are you speaking evil about the high priest of God?'

⁵  And Paul said: 'I did not know, brothers, that he is the high priest. For it is written: 'You shall not speak evil of the leader of your people.'

⁶  Now Paul, knowing that one group were Sadducees and the other were Pharisees, exclaimed in the council: 'Noble brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees! It is over the hope and resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.'

⁷  And when he had said this, a dissension occurred between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the multitude was divided.
