📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, John the Baptist was preaching in the wilderness of Judea, calling people to repent and be baptized as a preparation for the coming Messiah, which created a movement of spiritual renewal among the Jews. The Pharisees were religious leaders who strictly followed Jewish laws and traditions, while the Sadducees were aristocratic priests who controlled the temple and rejected ideas like resurrection, often clashing with other groups. When John saw these leaders approaching his baptism, he confronted them sharply, questioning their insincere motives and warning of impending divine judgment.
