44:023:007 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
44:023:008 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
44:023:009 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the
Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in
this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let
us not fight against God.
44:023:010 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,
fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them,
commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force
from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
44:023:011 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of
good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in
Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
44:023:012 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and
bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither
eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
44:023:013 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
44:023:014 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
44:023:015 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
44:023:016 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
