Then when Paul noticed that part of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out in the council, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead!"

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a violent storm continued to batter us, we finally abandoned all hope of being saved.
