Acts 23:7 in context

  1. 5Paul 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.’ ”
  2. 6But 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!”
  3. 7When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
  4. 8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
  5. 9A 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!”
