Why Did the Sadducees Rejected Jesus

3 months ago

The Sadducees during the time Jesus walked this earth were religious Jews who were high priests and nobles. Sadducees were wealthy, influential, and powerful. They had very distinct beliefs. We find in Matthew’s Gospel this brief note about the beliefs of the Sadducees
The Sadducees, were a priestly group, Aaronites, associated with the leadership of the Temple in Jerusalem. Sadducees represented the aristocratic group of the Hasmonean High Priests, who replaced the previous High Priestly lineage. The earlier Priestly lineage had been blamed for allowing the Syrian Emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes to desecrate the Temple of Jerusalem with idolatrous sacrifices and to martyr monotheistic Jews.
The Sadducees did not believe in any Scripture beyond the Torah, which consists of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
we also learn that the Sadducees did not believe in life after death and they denied the existence of supernatural spirits or demonic forces.
