Acts 23:5

---

← Acts 23:4	Acts 23:5 (KJV)	Acts 23:6 →
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?	Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.	But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
