It's the last week of Jesus' life, Jesus has come to Jerusalem, and the Jewish leaders are trying to discredit him. Jesus has already had a few encounters and now we see the next one. One of the most prominent parties of Judaism was the Sadducees. This group consisted of aristocratic families and had a great deal of power in the Sanhedrin, since they made up the majority of the priestly families. The Sadducees were enemies of the Pharisees, holding to different theological and political views. The Sadducees seem to have been welcoming of Roman and Greek influence, which would set them against the Pharisees. The Sadducees rejected the oral law which the Pharisees accepted; the former held only to the written Torah, and apparently held the Pentateuch to be either more important than the rest of the old testament or else the only authoritative part of the old testament.
