a Jewish political party who sympathized with (Mk 3:6; 12:13; Matt, 22:16; Lk 20:20) the Herodian rulers in their general policy of government, and in the social customs which they introduced from Rome. They were at one with the Sadducees in holding the duty of submission to Rome, and of supporting the Herods on the throne. (Comp. Mk 8:15; Mt 16:6.)
