Acts 23:1 - 15

Paul now faced the council, and was asked to answer charges of inciting riot. Paul, knowing that part of the council were Pharisees and the other part Saducees, decided to use his position to pit one party against the other. When the Pharisees could find no fault in him, they sought to extradite him to Rome. Meanwhile, a murder plot was uncovered of a group of men who were committed to ending Paul's life.
