1. And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;'
2. and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,
3. then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou-- thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!'
4. And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost thou revile?'
5. and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;'
6. and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee--son of a Pharisee--concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.'
7. And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
8. for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
