Scribes were a group of Jewish scholars consisting of Pharisees and Sadducees who played an important role in the transmission and interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures. They were experts in the law of Moses and were responsible for copying and preserving sacred texts. Scribes were highly respected in Jewish society and often served as teachers and advisors to the ruling class. They were also known as lawyers and were responsible for settling disputes and interpreting Jewish law. In the New Testament, scribes are often portrayed as opponents of Jesus and his teachings, challenging him on matters of the law and criticizing his actions.
