The Jews had multiple sects, just like Christians do and they all have different interpretations of their scripture, just like Christians do.
For example of another jewish sect at the time of sadducees:
John the Baptist was a Essenes preacher who formed his own messianic sect and circumcised Jesus according to the jewish tradition and declaring him as King of all Jews
There's no biblical or historical element directly proving that john was an essene. Maybe he was one of them at some point, that's not something I would rule out entirely. But there's no element suggesting he circumcised jesus, at least as far as I'm aware of.
John is mentioned by the Roman Jewish historian Josephus and revered as a major religious figure in Christianity, Islam, the Baháʼí Faith, the Druze Faith, and Mandaeism. He is considered to be a prophet of God by all of these faiths.
How is that supposed to demonstrate he was an essene or that he circumcised jesus?
