Wikipedia

Sadducees

The Sadducees (; Hebrew: צְדוּקִים, romanized: Ṣədūqīm) were a socio-religious sect of Jews active in Judea during the Second Temple period, from the second century BCE through the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. The Sadducees are often compared to other contemporaneous sects, including the Pharisees and the Essenes.

Josephus, writing at the end of the 1st century CE, associates the sect with the upper social and economic echelon of Judean society. As a whole, they fulfilled various political, social, and religious roles, including maintaining the Temple in Jerusalem. The group became extinct some time after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE.
