Acts 23:6-9

6 Now when Paul perceived that one part were ^aSadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Brothers, ^bI am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is ^cwith respect to the ^dhope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.” 7 And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 For the Sadducees ^esay that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all. 9 Then a great clamor arose, and some of ^fthe scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up and contended sharply, ^g“We find nothing wrong in this man. What ^hif a spirit or an angel spoke to him?”
