When he said this, a dissension arose on the part of the Pharisees, and the assembly was divided.
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
But the population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were with the apostles.
Now when Paul realized that some were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is regarding the hope of the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
(For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.)
