The Sadducees therefore denied the resurrection from the dead (verse 23). The doctrine of a future world is taught in some pa ages of the Old Testament, specially in Dan. xiv. 2, 3, ., which should have modified their belief. That it did not do so can be explained only by supposing that they attributed a higher inspiration to the Mosaic law than to other parts of the Old Testament. Epiph. anius ( Hæres ., xiv.) and some other of the fathers a ert that the Sadducees rejected all the Old Testament but the Pent a teuch. Probably, however, these writers confounded the Sadducees with the Samaritans. In Acts xxiii. 8, it is stated that they say that "there is neither angel nor spirit." How they could ignore all the angelic appearances in the Pent a teuch (Gen. xvi. 7, 11, xix. 1, .), is hard to understand. Perhaps they may have believed that, though angelic appearances once took place, they had now ceased. It is surprising that a sect with these views should, at least at one time, have almost monopolized the highest places in the priest hood; yet such was the case, at least temporarily (Acts iv. 1-6). But, with all their sacred office and worldly rank, they could have had no hold on the common people. It is probable that, when Christianity spread-even among its Jewish opponents a belief in the resurrection, the Sadducees must have still further lost ground; but they ultimately revived, and still exist, under the name of Karaites (q. v.).
