Saddoukaios identifies members of a group depicted in Gospel and Acts disputes, especially concerning resurrection.

The term identifies members of a named group, commonly set alongside Pharisees and shown approaching, questioning, being addressed, or forming part of a divided assembly. Several verses specifically associate the group with denying resurrection, while other occurrences concern its teaching or its presence in public and council scenes.

   The plural forms identify a group acting in the narratives: in Matthew 16:1 the APB renders Pharisees and this group approaching and questioning Jesus, while in Acts 4:1 it renders them among those who approached speakers addressing the people. In Acts 23:8, the nominative plural is the subject of the statement that this group says there is no resurrection, angel, or spirit; Matthew 16:12 also places the genitive plural within a warning about the teaching of Pharisees and this group.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as “Sadducees” or, in one clause, “the sect of the Sadducees.” Its wording confirms the group-level presentation of the verses without independently defining the lemma.
