'Sect' in the Bible

But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."

For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;

having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
