Answer Details
The disciples were opposed for preaching the resurrection of Jesus by the Sadducees. The Sadducees were a Jewish sect that did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, and thus they did not accept the disciples' message about the resurrection of Jesus. They were also part of the ruling elite in Jerusalem and felt threatened by the growing influence of the disciples and the message they were preaching. As a result, they arrested and imprisoned the disciples, and tried to silence their message by force.
