5 Paul said, 'I didn't know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.''
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, 'Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!'
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, 'We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let's not fight against God!'
