Acts 23:8 Context
6But when Paul perceiued that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, hee cryed out in the Councill, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the sonne of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead, I am called in question. 7And when hee had so said, there arose a dissension betweene the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was diuided. 8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confesse both. 9And there arose a great cry: and the Scribes that were of the Pharisees part arose, and stroue, saying, Wee finde no euill in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel hath spoken to him, let vs not fight against God. 10And when there arose a great dissension, the chiefe captaine fearing lest Paul should haue bene pulled in pieces of them, commanded the souldiers to goe downe, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
