...refrain from singning their names. But their thoughts, such as they are, they give to the public, "carrying with them no higher authority than their logic."

There were the Pharisees, the self-complacent religious leaders of the people; the Sadducees, the political sect; the Herodians, who united the selfishness of the Pharisees and the worldliness of the Sadducees and who cordially hated both.
