Definition of sadducee in English English dictionary

A member of an ancient Jewish sect possibly formed as a political party in the 2nd century BCE and existed until around the 1st century CE

Singular form of Sadducees

{i} member of an ancient Jewish sect characterized by its literal interpretation of the Bible

Member of a Jewish priestly sect that flourished for about two centuries, until the destruction (AD 70) of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. Sadducees were generally wealthier, more conservative, and better connected politically than their rivals, the Pharisees. They believed in strict interpretation of the Torah and thus rejected such ideas as immortality of the soul, bodily resurrection after death, and the existence of angels. They viewed Jesus' ministry with mistrust and are believed to have played some part in his death. Their wealth and complicity with Roman rulers made them unpopular with the common people

a member of an ancient Jewish sect around the time of Jesus; opposed to the Pharisees

One of a sect among the ancient Jews, who denied the resurrection, a future state, and the existence of angels
