Acts 23:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ Paul knew that some of the gathering were Sadducees, and the rest were Pharisees.

“My brothers,” he shouted to the Sanhedrin, “I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. This trial is about the Hope, about the Resurrection of the Dead!”

⁷ At these words, an argument broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and they were split among themselves. ⁸ (The Sadducees deny that there is any resurrection, or any intermediate state of “angel” or “spirit,” but the Pharisees affirm them both.)
