Sorry that I forgot to update four 6 days. It will not happen again.
Paul has been arrested for preaching the gospel. He is brought before the Sanhedrin, the council of Sadducees and Pharisees that rules in religious matters over the Jewish people.
When Paul realizes that both groups of people are there he uses it to his advantage. They do not agree on much in the way of doctrine.
PHarisees believe in angels and resurrection. They are literalists, where as the Saducees do not believe in these things.
So Paul brilliantly brings up this issue so that the two groups fight amongst themselves so his trial cannot proceed.
AFter this some of the Jews try to ambush him but God foils their plan.
Paul in the end of this chapter is sent to the governor of the area so that he can be tried. His accusers will get an opportunity to say what he did and he will get a chance to defend.
As we continue to follow that life of Paul we will see that God uses this situation for his Glory and so that the gospel can be spread.
