Acts 23:9 in Context — Acts 23

7 E ele, tendo dito isto, houve uma confusão entre os fariseus e saduceus; e a multidão se dividiu;

8 Porque os saduceus dizem que não há ressurreição, nem anjo ou espírito; mas os fariseus declaram ambas.

9 E houve uma grande gritaria; e levantando-se os escribas da parte dos fariseus, disputavam, dizendo: Nenhum mal achamos neste homem; e se algum espírito ou anjo falou com ele, não briguemos contra Deus.

10 E havendo grande confusão, o comandante, temendo que Paulo não fosse despedaçado por eles, mandou descer a tropa, e tirá-lo do meio deles, e levá-lo à área fortificada.

11 E [n] a noite seguinte o Senhor, aparecendo-lhe, disse: Tem bom ânimo, Paulo! Porque assim como deste testemunho de mim em Jerusalém, assim é necessário que tu dês testemunho também em Roma.
