|txtha=Σαδδουκαιου, ὁ, a Sadducee, a [[member]] of the [[party]] of the Sadducees, [[who]], [[distinguished]] for [[birth]], [[wealth]], and [[official]] [[position]], and [[not]] [[averse]] to the favor of the [[Herod]] [[family]] and of the Romans , [[hated]] the [[common]] [[people]], were the opponents of the Pharisees, and rejecting [[tradition]] ([[see]] [[παράδοσις]], 2) acknowledged the [[authority]] of the O. T. [[alone]] in matters pertaining to [[faith]] and [[morals]] (Josephus, Antiquities 13,10, 6); [[they]] denied [[not]] [[only]] the [[resurrection]] of the [[body]] (ψυχῆς τέ [[τήν]] διαμονην καί τάς καθ' ᾅδου τιμωρίας καί τιμάς ἀναιρουσι, Josephus, b. j. 2,8, 14, cf. Antiquities 18,1, 4), as [[well]] as the [[existence]] of angels and spirits (Josephus, b. j. 2,8, 14). They are mentioned in the N. T. (in [[addition]] to the [[one]] [[already]] referred to) in צַדִּיק, as [[though]] [[they]] boasted of [[being]] [[pre-eminently]] '[[righteous]]' or '[[upright]]' ([[since]] it cannot be shown [[that]] the vowel i [[ever]] passed [[over]] [[into]] u), [[but]], according to a [[more]] [[probable]] [[conjecture]] [[now]] approved by [[many]], from the Zadok (צָדוק, the Sept., Σαδδουκ), [[who]] [[was]] [[high]] [[priest]] in the [[time]] of David and exhibited [[special]] [[fidelity]] to the [[king]] and his [[house]] (צָדוק בְּנֵי, [[Σαδδουκαῖοι]] (צדוקים).
