Only prophets in "Romans ff."... No Pharisees nor Sadducees, no layers no scribes, yet most certainly not one single priest
And Acts is a remarkable symbiotism of both
That is interesting. As with your post,

Romans ff. [virtually] only has prophets and apostles "..there is not a shred of disciples there ... only apostles. "

Prophets are "the only thing" in Acts and further, there is nothing of the rest: no scribe, lawyers, Pharisee or Sadducee - and certainly no priests.
A couple of chapters of Acts - chapters 4 and 24 - have mentions of Pharisees and Sadducees
(and there's one mention of Pharisee in each of chapters 15 and 26)

Priests figure mostly in copies of every gospel, and it is John who assigns them new parts.

Luke is the only one to mention lawyers, apart from an occasional incidental entry in the others.
Thanks, forgot to fix that reference, fixed now.
I had initially included apostles as well, but seeing how that resulted in two entirely different worlds, I put that into another thread and included disciples as well:

You mean chapter 23 of Acts, not 24? Paul's trial mentions a bunch of both of course, but neither of them receives any of the bashing that they do in the other texts.
And it is more than remarkable how the Synoptics talk of disciples while Romans ff. talks of apostles (thread mentioned just above)
But, to set the record straight indeed, allow me to have a retry: only prophets in Romans ff., no lawyers, scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees
And to really set the record straight: I only highlighted the priests that I found, I omitted them in the search. Fixing that now, and apologies to every one. Doing two threads of these at once doesn't become accuracy, to say the least
