Ananias, the high priest during the time of the Apostle Paul, is often associated with the Sadducees, a Jewish sect known for their denial of the resurrection and emphasis on the Torah. Acts 23:2-10 suggests his involvement in the Sadducean leadership, as he played a significant role in the trial of Paul, which was characterized by tensions between the Sadducees and Pharisees. However, specific historical records do not definitively classify him solely as a Sadducee.
