Scribes

They were the students, interpreters, and teachers of the Old Testament Scriptures. They were also called lawyers. Christ denounced them for making the Word of God of no effect by their traditions.

Other political groups and community groups that wielded influence about 2000 years ago in the land of Israel included the Galileans, Herodians, Pharisees, Sadducees and Sanhedrin.
