Essenes are not mentioned in the New Testament. We know of them from Josephus, Philo and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Apparently, the people of the Scrolls were closely related to the Essenes. They were an ascetic group, many of whom lived in the desert region of Qumran, near the Dead Sea. They took vows of celibacy and perpetuated their community by adopting male children. Some did marry. When one joined the Essenes, he gave all his possession to the community. They devoted themselves to the study of the law and went beyond the Pharisees in their rigid understanding of it.
