Sadducee

Definition:

The Sadducees were a political group of Jewish priests during the time of Jesus Christ. They supported Roman rule and did not believe in the resurrection.

  • Many Sadducees were wealthy, upper-class Jews who held powerful leadership positions such as chief priest and high priest.
  • The duties of the Sadducees included taking care of the temple complex and priestly tasks such as offering sacrifices.
  • The Sadducees and the Pharisees strongly influenced the Roman leaders to crucify Jesus.
  • Jesus spoke against these two religious groups because of their selfishness and hypocrisy.
