Acts 23

Acts 23 is the twenty-third chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It records the period of Paul's imprisonment in Jerusalem and then in Caesarea. The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke.

The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 35 verses.

Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:

The events in this chapter took place in Jerusalem, Antipatris and Caesarea.

This section continues the record of Paul's trial before the Sanhedrin from the previous chapter. The tribune ordered the Sanhedrin to meet (22:30) in an advisory capacity to help him "determine whether or not Paul had a case to answer" under the Jewish law.

The quoted text is taken from Exodus 22:28:

Paul quotes from the Jewish law to show his willingness to abide by that law.

Paul's account of the beliefs excluded by the Sadducees matches the issues addressed in the gospels at Matthew 22:23-33 and parallels. Both these doctrines (the resurrection of the dead, and the existence of angels and spirits) "have commonly stood or fallen together".
