Acts 23:7

When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

Lord, confuse and confound their speech,
for I see violence and strife in the city;

Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”

But the people of the city were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.

And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

But the people of the city were divided, some siding with the Jews and some with the apostles.

Lord, confuse and confound their speech,

for I see violence and strife in the city;

Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”

So a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.

Again a division took place among the Jews because of these words.
