Exegesis
The verse is structured around the contrastive pair of particles men…de {μὲν…δὲ | men…de} ‘on the one hand…but on the other’, which sets the beliefs of the Saddoukaioi {Σαδδουκαῖοι | Sad-dou-kaî-oi} and the Pharisaiōi {Φαρισαῖοι | Pha-ri-saî-oi} in opposition.
In context — Acts 23:8
For the Sadducees indeed say there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge them both.
