Exegesis
The subject ho Paulos {ὁ Παῦλος | ho Paû-los} is followed by a hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} clause that reports the content of his perception: to hen meros estin Saddoukaion, to de heteron Pharisaion {τὸ ἓν μέρος ἐστὶν Σαδδουκαίων τὸ δὲ ἕτερον Φαρισαίων | tò hèn méros estìn Saddou-kaí-ōn, tò dè héteron Pharisaí-ōn}. This balanced structure, marked by to hen … to de heteron, underscores the internal division of the body he faces.
The prepositional phrase en to synedrio {ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ | en tôi sy-ne-drí-ō} situates his cry within the formal judicial context of the council.

In context — Acts 23:6
But when Paul perceived that one part was Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.”
