Exegesis
The aorist middle verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | e-gé-ne-to} functions idiomatically as “there came to be,” introducing the event and taking stasis {στάσις | stá-sis} “dissension” as its subject, so that the focus rests on the sudden emergence of conflict.
In context — Acts 23:7
But as he was saying this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
