Acts 23:6-9
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council,“ Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying,“ We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered,“ Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them,‘ Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
