the Pharisees did not believe in the resurrection of Jesus then or now. The Jews(Israelites) are still looking for HIS comming. ANSWER: Yes, many Pharisees believed in the resurrection of Jesus. In fact, the the New Testament records a higer percentage of Pharisaic believers than any other 1st century Jewish sect. Paul and Nicodemus where Pharisees. Also the Jerusalem council in Acts makes mention of Pharisees that believed. The Old Testament says;
; "They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased they shall not rise." Isaiah 26:4. In the First Century BC, there were debates between the Pharisees who believed in the future Resurrection, and the Sadducees who did not. The Sadducees, politically powerful religious leaders, took a literal view of the Torah, rejecting the Pharisees' oral law, afterlife, angels, and demons.[2] The Pharisees, whose views became Rabbinic Judaism, eventually won (or at least survived) this debate.

∙ 16y agoThe Bible doesn't say that. The Sadducee's were that ones that didn't believe in the resurrection.
The Apostle Paul was able to use the Resurrection to cause a division between the Sadducees and the Pharisees at Acts 23:6-9: "Now when Paul took note that the one part was of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees, he proceeded to cry out in the San′he·drin: "Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Over the hope of resurrection of the dead I am being judged." Because he said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the multitude was split. For Sadducees say there is neither resurrection nor angel nor spirit, but the Pharisees publicly declare them all. So there broke out a loud screaming, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees rose and began contending fiercely, saying: "We find nothing wrong in this man; but if a spirit or an angel spoke to him,-."
Get a modern translation of the Bible (so you won't have to suffer through the "thees' and 'thous' Of the older Bible Translations) and read the book of Acts.
It is just as 'exciting' and 'action-packed' as any program on TV today.

However it is recorded in Acts that some of them were believers, although in terms of the total number of Pharisees it is doubtful this represented anything near a majority:
5But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.Nicodemus who came to seek out Jesus by night and whose conversation is recoded in the start of John chapter 3 was also a Pharisee. It appears from this as well as two other details we have recorded about Nicodemus that he also was a believer, even given the difficulties this would have caused him, given the majority view of the Pharisees. He also was a member of the Sanhedrin.

∙ 11y agoYes. The Sadducees, however, did not.
AnswerOur traditional Jewish beliefs today, including the afterlife and the resurrection, are traditions continuing from the Prophets and the Sages of the Talmud. The word "Pharisees," which is based on a Greek misspelling used by Josephus, actually refers to the Sages of the Talmud.
The Sadducees, who abandoned various parts of Judaism, claimed no earlier source for their attitudes; and they (like the Essenes) disappeared at the time of the Second Destruction.

∙ 11y agoMost of the Pharisees did not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. But they did believe in the resurrection according to the Old Testament. We do know of two Pharisees that were Jesus' secret disciples who believed in the resurrection after Jesus was resurrected, and that was Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea.

Jesus enemies tried to trick Jesus by asking him difficult questions How did Jesus respond to this question The Question About The Resurrection?
I'm not sure, but I know that the one about who was his neighboor was the Samaritan on the roadThe guys asking the question were Sadducees who believed that there is no resurrection. The trick question concerned the law of Moses regarding a widow with no children. In their scenario, a woman is widowed seven times and the question was which of the seven would be her husband at the resurrection. Jesus' reply was that no one is married at the resurrection, all are like angels, and that regarding the resurrection of the seven husbands, God is the God of the living, not of the dead. The Sadducees apparently had no reply.

Believing themselves knowledgeable of the Scriptures, yet, the Sadducees didn't believe in the "resurrection." In Matthew 22, they were trying to create a confusing imaginary future scenario regarding the "alleged" resurrection, that would stump Jesus [thus, trying to silence Him].But, instead of arguing with the Sadducees over vain philosophical points... Jesus silenced them by pointing out their ignorance of the Scriptures:"...'YOUR PROBLEM IS that YOU DON'T KNOW THE SCRIPTURES, and YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF GOD...'" (Matt.22:29 NLT New Living Translation)
