Pharisees.

They accepted belief in resurrection, developed new interpretations of the Mosaic Law based on an oral tradition, generally rejected Jesus as the Messiah, and were committed to Jewish religious autonomy (as opposed to the Sadducees, who denied resurrection and accepted only the written Torah, or the Zealots/Maccabees, who were primarily political/nationalist movements).
