The Pharisees and the Sadducees.
The Pharisees professed great devotion to the law, but they were inwardly corrupt, sectarian, hypocritical, and self-righteous; the Sadducees were social aristocrats and religious skeptics who denied such basic doctrines as the resurrection of the body, the existence of angels, the immortality of the soul, and eternal punishment.
Jesus said this about them:
Matthew 23:13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in".
