In Luke 3:7-10, John called the multitude who came to him a generation of vipers who were fleeing the wrath to come: "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?" In this Gospel, John did not say anything to the Pharisees and Sadducees.
In Matthew 3:7-9, John is reported to say this to the Pharisees and Sadducees, rather than to the multitude: "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."

∙ 13y agoIn Matthew 3:7-9, John is reported to have called the Pharisees and Sadducees a generation of vipers: "But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
In Luke 3:7-10, John was not referring to the Pharisees and Sadducees at all. He called the multitude who came to him a generation of vipers who were fleeing the wrath to come: "Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?"
We can see here that there was a common origin to the two sayings, but that each author chose to have John the Baptist direct his anger at a different group. The author of Matthew saw the Jewish religious leaders as the challengers of Christianity, rather than the Jews as a whole. By the time Luke was written, relations between Christians and Jews had reached a low point, and the author of Luke used this opportunity to disparage the Jews in general.

Who said that God is able to raise up children unto Abraham from stones?
John the Baptist was talking to the Pharisees and Sadducees. Starting in Matthew 3:7, 7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
How many times the word sadducee appear in the bible?
In the King James version, the word Sadduccees appears 14 timesMat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?Mat 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.Mat 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.Mat 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?Mat 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.Mat 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,Mat 22:34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.Mar 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,Luk 20:27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,Act 4:1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,Act 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,Act 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.Act 23:7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.Act 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
What sect did not believe in the resurrection of the dead?
Matthew 22:23 - The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,[NKJV]
What message did John the Baptist have for the Pharisees and Sadducees that wanted to be baptized?
Matthew 3:7 - But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"[NKJV]Notice the wording: "coming to his baptism" - not "coming to be baptized."The Pharisees and Sadducees were not willing to be baptized by John, they only came to "see what was going on," as it were. This is why he refers to them as a "brood of vipers," and warns them to "bear fruits worthy of repentance," in Matt. 3:8.That the Pharisees and Sadducees did not submit to John's baptism is made clear later in Matthew's gospel when Jesus asks the Jewish leaders, "The baptism of John - where was it from? From heaven or from men?" And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet." (Matthew 21:25, 26)Let's not forget this passage... [NIV]Luke 3:7,8: John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! , "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.[In this passage it is more ambiguous and it could be argued that the Pharisees wanted to be get baptised. Even if they did want to it is doubtful John would have baptised them because they would not repent. This shows that it is not biological children of Abraham that should be baptised.Romans 4:6-8 states "it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring."
What is the difference between Jews and Saduccees?
The Sadducees were Jewish. They did not believe in the authority of the Oral Torah. Eventually they degenerated into a group of thugs who attacked the Pharisees whenever possible. The Pharisees, needless to say, didn't like that much.
