Acts 23:7

When he said this, an argument began between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

Confuse them, O Lord! Frustrate their plans! For I see violence and conflict in the city.

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword.

When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, "This really is the Prophet!"

But the population of the city was divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
