Berean Study Bible
Then Paul, knowing
The phrase highlights Paul's awareness and strategic thinking. The Greek word for "knowing" (εἰδώς, eidōs) implies a deep understanding or perception. Paul, a former Pharisee, was well-acquainted with the beliefs and dynamics of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. His knowledge was not just intellectual but experiential, having been part of this religious elite. This awareness allowed him to navigate the complex religious and political landscape effectively.

that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees
This distinction is crucial. The Sadducees and Pharisees were two prominent Jewish sects with differing beliefs. The Sadducees, often from the priestly and aristocratic classes, denied the resurrection, angels, and spirits, focusing solely on the written Law of Moses. The Pharisees, on the other hand, believed in the resurrection, angels, and spirits, and held to oral traditions alongside the written law. This division was significant in Jewish society and theology, and Paul used it to his advantage.

called out in the Sanhedrin
The Sanhedrin was the supreme religious body in Israel, akin to a combination of a court and a senate. By "calling out," Paul was making a public declaration, a bold move in such a setting. The Greek word for "called out" (ἔκραξεν, ekraxen) suggests a loud, authoritative proclamation, indicating Paul's confidence and assertiveness in addressing the council.

'Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee'
