Paul’s Life as a Pharisee

Acts 26:4-8

`The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth--which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem--know do all the Jews,

knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;

and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged,

to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;

why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
