The Sadducees and the Pharisees are two of the most well known Jewish sects during Christ's time. Here are some generalities: The Pharisees were strict observers of the Law. They would be more along the lines of what we would consider very conservative. The Sadducees were much more pluralistic and more of what we would think of as very liberal. Just like liberals and conservatives today, they didn't think too highly of one another. The Sadducees had the greatest political control. (Caiaphas, the high priest, was a Sadducee, and as a result had financial control of the commerce in the temple.) One of the big differences in opinion between Pharisees and Sadducees was the idea of the resurrection of the dead. The Sadducees just didn't believe in it. Christ tended to be more critical of the Pharisees because they knew the Law (the Old Testament) very well, but tended to bend it to their own ends. The Sadducees were generally pretty neglectful of scripture. They even practiced a bit of paganism. (When they found the ossuary of Caiaphas, a coin fell out of the skull of one his relatives. That was a Greek practice of putting a coin in the mouth of the deceased in order to pay for passage across the River Styx.) The word Pharisee is derived from the Greek word perusim which means "separated ones." The word Sadducee is derived from the Greek word saddiq which means "the righteous." The sects date back to 130 BC or so, but know one really knows where they came from. I hope this helps. --Doc |

Here are information about them, you can find it your self in the scriptures following the quoted chapters and verses. EASTON BIBLE DICTIONARY ENTRY ON: Sadducees The origin of this Jewish sect cannot definitely be traced. It was probably the outcome of the influence of Grecian customs and philosophy during the period of Greek domination. The first time they are met with is in connection with John the Baptist's ministry. They came out to him when on the banks of the Jordan, and he said to them, "O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" (Mt 3:7.) The next time they are spoken of they are represented as coming to our Lord tempting him. He calls them "hypocrites" and "a wicked and adulterous generation" (Mt 16:1-4; 22:23). The only reference to them in the Gospels of Mark (Mr 12:18-27) and Luke (Lu 20:27-38) is their attempting to ridicule the doctrine of the resurrection, which they denied, as they also denied the existence of angels. They are never mentioned in John's Gospel. There were many Sadducees among the "elders" of the Sanhedrin. They seem, indeed, to have been as numerous as the Pharisees (Ac 23:6). They showed their hatred of Jesus in taking part in his condemnation (Mt 16:21; 26:1-3,59; Mr 8:31; 15:1; Lu 9:22; 22:66). They endeavoured to prohibit the apostles from preaching the resurrection of Christ (Ac 2:24,31-32; 4:1-2; 5:17,24-28). They were the deists or sceptics of that age. They do not appear as a separate sect after the destruction of Jerusalem. EASTON BIBLE DICTIONARY ENTRY ON: Pharisees separatists (Heb persahin, from parash, "to separate"). They were probably the successors of the Assideans (i.e., the "pious"), a party that originated in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes in revolt against his heathenizing policy. The first mention of them is in a description by Josephus of the three sects or schools into which the Jews were divided (B.C. 145). The other two sects were the Essenes and the Sadducees. In the time of our Lord they were the popular party (Joh 7:48). They were extremely accurate and minute in all matters appertaining to the law of Moses (Mt 9:14; 23:15; Lu 11:39; 18:12). Paul, when brought before the council of Jerusalem, professed himself a Pharisee (Ac 23:6-8; 26:4-5). There was much that was sound in their creed, yet their system of religion was a form and nothing more. Theirs was a very lax morality (Mt 5:20; 15:4,8; 23:3,14,23,25; Joh 8:7). On the first notice of them in the New Testament (Mt 3:7), they are ranked by our Lord with the Sadducees as a "generation of vipers." They were noted for their self-righteousness and their pride (Mt 9:11; Lu 7:39; 18:11-12). They were frequently rebuked by our Lord (Mt 12:39; 16:1-4). From the very beginning of his ministry the Pharisees showed themselves bitter and persistent enemies of our Lord. They could not bear his doctrines, and they sought by every means to destroy his influence among the people. God bless, |

By the way, there were a variety of "kinds" of Pharisees. These included "Bruised Pharisees," "Ever-Reckoning Pharisees," and "God Fearing Pharisees." The last group were pretty good guys, actually, many becoming Christians. | ||||||
