Acts 23:1-11 And when Paul had looked on the assembly of them, he said: Men, my brethren; I have lived in all good conscience before God up to this day.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Paul had looked on the assembly of them, he said: Men, my brethren; I have lived in all good conscience before God up to this day. ² And Ananias, the priest, commanded those who stood by his side, to smite Paul on the mouth. ³ And Paul said to him: God is here-after to smite thee, thou Whited Wall! For, sittest thou judging me agreeably to law, while thou transgressest the law, and commandest to smite me? ⁴ And those standing by, said to him: Dost thou reproach the priest of God! ⁵ Paul said to them: I was not aware, my brethren, that he was the priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people. ⁶ And, as Paul knew that a part of the people were of the Sadducees, and a part of the Pharisees, he cried out, in the assembly: Men, my brethren; I am a Pharisee the son of a Pharisee; and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead, I am judged. ⁷ And when he had said this, the Pharisees and Sadducees fell upon one another, and the people were divided ⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angels, nor a spirit: but the Pharisees confess all these. ⁹ And there was great vociferation. And some Scribes of the party of the Pharisees rose up, and contended with them, and said. We have found nothing evil in this man: for if a spirit or an angel hath conversed with him, what is there in that? ¹⁰ And, as there was great commotion among them, the Chiliarch was afraid lest they should tear Paul in pieces. And he sent Romans, to go and pluck him from their midst, and bring him into the castle. ¹¹ And when night came, our Lord appeared to Paul, and said to him: Be strong; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so also art thou to testify at Rome.
