DSadducees.✓ Correct Answer
Answer & Explanation
✓ Sadducees.
The Sadducees were very attuned to the ancient forms of worship under the laws of Moses; the high priests of the Temple were all Sadducees. "Scribes" were not a sect or branch - it is essentially a job description - and were not necessarily adherents of any specific sect, although many of them were Pharisees. (See 1 Kings 6-8, 2 Chronicles 3-7)
