Acts 24:21

Except it be for this one voice
Sentence or expression following, which declares his faith about the resurrection; not that he thought or owned that this was an evil in him, but that it was the only one, that any of them, the Jews, a part among them, namely, the Sadducees, could condemn, or judge to be evil in him:

that I cried, standing among them;
whereby they were thrown into confusion and division among themselves: and it was this,

touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you
this day;
see ( Acts 23:6 ) .
