That same day some Sadducees came to Jesus and asked him a question. (Sadducees believed that people would not rise from the dead.)
While Peter and John were speaking to the people, priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and Sadducees came up to them.
Many of the Pharisees and Sadducees came to the place where John was baptizing people. When John saw them, he said, “You are snakes! Who warned you to run away from God’s coming punishment?
The high priest and all his friends (a group called the Sadducees) became very jealous.
They have left the true teaching, saying that the rising from the dead has already taken place, and so they are destroying the faith of some people.
Jesus said to them, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
