Matt. 3:11      Matt. 3:13

Matthew 3:12

He has his shovel in his hand to clear (clean) his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the chaff in a fire that cannot be extinguished."
[The three largest Jewish religious groups were:
Pharisees – followed strict external rules in order to achieve piety and equated the rabbis' interpretations with the writings of the Old Testament. Pharisee means "separated."
Sadducees – accepted the entire Tanakh in the same way as the Pharisees, but not the oral teachings (Mishnah and Talmud). They also did not believe in anything supernatural such as angels or life after death, see Acts 23:8. They were in the majority in the Sanhedrin and more positive towards the Roman state than the Pharisees. The word Sadducee probably derives from a high priest named Zadok.
Essene – were a strict, closed group who lived apart from society, often in isolated and deserted places. One of these places is believed to be Qumran (where the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 also led to increased knowledge about this group). They are not mentioned in the New Testament, but according to the Jewish historian Josephus, there were a total of about 4,000 followers in the country. He also mentions the "Gate of the Essenes" in the southwestern corner of Jerusalem, which, together with other references, shows that the group was also present in Jerusalem. The origin of the name is not entirely known, but it may mean "makers/creators" of the Torah or derive from a Hebrew word for "outside."
In addition to these, there were many different political and religious groups such as the Zealots (Matt. 10:4), Sicarii (Acts 21:38), Herodians (Matt. 22:16; Mark 3:6; 12:13) and Samaritans (Luke 10:33; 17:16–18; John 4:9, 19–20; 8:48).]
