Acts 22:30-23:35

They want to find out what happened, but they can't flog Paul. They bring him before a council with all the Jews. He says something, and then the high priest gets someone to hit Paul. Paul speaks judgment against the high priest, but he somewhat takes it back when he find out it is the high priest.

Now Paul is before all these Jews, but he realizes that half of them are Pharisees and half are Sadducees. Since these two groups disagree about the resurrection, Paul blurts out agreement with the resurrection. Now these two groups who were ready to pounce on Paul are at each other's throats in argument about the resurrection. The soldiers need to step in and take Paul away before he is killed.

A number of Jews make an oath to not eat or drink anything until Paul is killed. Then, they try to have Paul lured out by setting up another meeting in attempts to ambush him on the way, but this plan is made known to the son of Paul's sister. So, this man tells the head of the soldiers and they secretly send Paul to Felix at night so that he won't be ambushed and killed. A hearing is to happen when Paul's accusers come to Paul in Herod's praetorium.
