Acts 24:15
And have hope toward God. This hope of the resurrection, the
great doctrine of Christianity, was one that the law and the prophets
foreshadow, and
which they themselves also allow. The Jews held this same hope.
Apart from the Sadducees, a small minority, the Jews believed in a
future life and judgment. Hence, even in this matter, he was not
preaching a new, unknown and illegal doctrine, for Judaism was
acknowledged by Roman law. Josephus says,
``The Sadducees were able to persuade none but the rich. The
Pharisees had the multitude on their side.'
