emtv - Acts:22:30-23:11

emtv@Acts:22:30 @ Now on the next day, desiring to know the truth [as to] why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from the bonds, and ordered the chief priests and their whole council to come, and brought Paul down and presented [him] to them.

emtv@Acts:23:1 @ Then Paul, looking intently at the council, said, "Men, brothers, I have lived with all good conscience toward God until this day."

emtv@Acts:23:2 @ But the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his mouth.

emtv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit judging me according to the law, and contrary to the law do you command that I should be struck?"

emtv@Acts:23:4 @ But those standing by said, "Do you revile the high priest of God?"

emtv@Acts:23:5 @ Then Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he is the high priest; for it is written, 'You shall not speak wickedly of a ruler of your people.' "

emtv@Acts:23:6 @ But when Paul perceived that one part was of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, he cried out in the Sanhedrin, "Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!"

emtv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had spoken this, there came to be a dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

emtv@Acts:23:8 @ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection-nor angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

emtv@Acts:23:9 @ And there came to be a great outcry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' party stood up and contended sharply, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

emtv@Acts:23:10 @ And when much dissension developed, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the detachment of soldiers to go down and seize him from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the barracks.

emtv@Acts:23:11 @ Now on the next night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, Paul; for as you solemnly testified about the things concerning Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."
