Member of a sect opposing the Sadducees in the Bible (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pharisee

(Other definitions for pharisee that I've seen before include "Ancient Jewish sectarian" , "hypocritical type" , "Ancient Jew" , "Hypocritical Biblical official" , "Member of ancient Jewish sect; Heap, sire (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
