But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection—and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
