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.
8 For the Sadducees claim that there is no resurrection, and neither angels, nor spirits. But the Pharisees confess both of these.
9 Then there occurred a great clamor. And some of the Pharisees, rising up, were fighting, saying: 'We find nothing evil in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?'
