Acts 23

6 Ref and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'

7 Ref And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,

8 Ref for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.

9 Ref And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, `No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;'

10 Ref and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring `him' to the castle.
