“I would soon find a shelter from the raging wind and storm.”
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword.

Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees, so he called out before the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; [I] am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead.”
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, while the Pharisees acknowledge all three.
