That same day the Sadducees, who don’t believe that people rise from the dead, came to Jesus with a question.
While Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to them.
But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to be baptized, John said to them, “You little snakes! Who warned you to try to escape the punishment that’s coming?
The high priest and his friends, who were all Sadducees, were jealous of the apostles.
They’ve turned away from the truth. They’re saying the resurrection of the dead has already happened, and they’re destroying the faith of some people.
“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
