Paul Before the Sanhedrin

³⁰ The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews.^(A) So the next day he released him^(B) and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin^(C) to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them.

23 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin^(D) and said, “My brothers,^(E) I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience^(F) to this day.”

⁶ Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees^(A) and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers,^(B) I am a Pharisee,^(C) descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.”^(D)

¹⁵ Now then, you and the Sanhedrin^(A) petition the commander to bring him before you on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”
