Is there any verse in the bible about the Pharisees, Sadducees and Essenes?

Answer 1

Pharisees, Sadducees, yes.
Don't believe I've ever seen the word Essenes in the Bible.
The Essenes were apparently written of in the writings of the ancient Jewish writer Josephus.

From wikipedia-
The main source of information about the life and belief of Essenes is the detailed account contained in a work of the 1st century Jewish historiographer Flavius Josephus entitled The Jewish War written about 73-75 AD (War 2.119-161) and his shorter description in his Antiquities of the Jews finished some 20 years later (Ant. 18.11 & 18-22). Claiming first hand knowledge (Life §§10-11), he refers to them by the name Essenoi and lists them as the followers of one of the three sects in "Jewish Philosophy'" (War 2.119) alongside the Pharisees and the Sadducees. The only other known contemporary accounts about the Essenes are two similarly detailed ones by the Jewish philosopher Philo (fl. c. 20 AD - c. 54 AD; Quod Omnis Probus Liber Sit XII.75-87, and the excerpt from his Hypothetica 11.1-18 preserved by Eusebius, Praep. Evang. Bk VIII), who, however, admits to not being quite certain of the Greek form of their name that he recalls as Essaioi (Quod Omn. Prob. XII.75), the brief reference to them by the Roman equestrian Pliny the Elder (fl. 23 AD - 79 AD; Natural History, Bk 5.73). Pliny, also a geographer and explorer, located them in the desert near the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947.

Answer 2

Essenes are not discussed...

Numerous passages mention Pharisees and Sadducees.

This passage reveals a lot about these 2 groups:

Acts 23:6 Paul realized that some members of the high council were Sadducees and some were Pharisees, so he shouted, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, as were my ancestors! And I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!”
7 This divided the council—the Pharisees against the Sadducees— 8 for the Sadducees say there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, but the Pharisees believe in all of these. 9 So there was a great uproar. Some of the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees jumped up and began to argue forcefully. “We see nothing wrong with him,” they shouted. “Perhaps a spirit or an angel spoke to him.” 10 As the conflict grew more violent, the commander was afraid they would tear Paul apart. So he ordered his soldiers to go and rescue him by force and take him back to the fortress.

Answer 3

There are several mentions of Pharisees and Sudducees in the New Testament. They were influential groups in Israel at the time of Jesus, and leaders of both the government and the religion of that time.

The Essenes were a small sect of a few hundred people maximum, who lived in a secluded desert community with minimal interaction with other people. They are not mentioned in the Bible, and probably would not even be known today except that a library of Old Testament books they had collected, called the Dead Sea Scroll, was found in the 1950's.

Answer 4

you will locate the Pharisees in virtually any church you bypass in to. The holier than thou, the greater useful than you. they're all there. the genuine question is are they actually Christians??? i might positioned up by making use of their strikes that answer may well be no. See while one claims to have faith then they're assume to income what Jesus did, what he taught and how he lived. that's assume to be the type, putting others earlier your self. Treating others the variety you may want to be taken care of your self. Having compassion, in touch interest, in touch love for others. transforming into to be selfless instead of egocentric, that's the type and that's how a Christian is assume to stay. not elementary I fall short each and every of the time yet nonetheless I attempt. the genuine distinction interior the tip is ones strikes, how they stay, what they do. those are the flaws which will inform you if somebody is rather a Christian. Many will declare it yet few will rather stay it. decide peoples strikes, there you will comprehend.
