Overall comparisonBoth groups were small in number (Pharisees 6000) but had much influence with the Sadducees always having more. Sadducees were more important as they were the chief and high priests. The two groups were each others rivals in politics and in religion with the Sadducees rejecting the teachings and beliefs of the Pharisees (life after death) especially the newer traditions such as oral law but both followed strict rules and laws. Both groups were opposed to Jesus. Their differences stemmed from their social positions with the Saddcees being the wealthy ruling elites and the Pharisees just being laymen. |
