Acts 23:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ The men standing beside Paul asked, “Don't you know you are insulting God's high priest?”

^5 (A) Paul replied, “Oh! I didn't know he was the high priest. The Scriptures do tell us not to speak evil about a leader of our people.”

^6 (B) When Paul saw that some of the council members were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he shouted, “My friends, I am a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. I am on trial simply because I believe that the dead will be raised to life.”
