4. And those who stood nearby said, “Are you reviling the high priest of God?”
5. And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’ ”
6. Now when Paul realized that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted out in the Sanhedrin, “Men and brothers! I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees! I am being judged concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead!”
7. And when he said this, a dispute developed between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
