Exegesis
The repeated reference to Jesus with autō and auton {αὐτῷ / αὐτὸν | autô / autón} ties both actions (coming near and questioning) directly to Him, highlighting the personal nature of the opposition. In translation, the participle legontes is rendered as a finite clause (“saying that there is no resurrection” / “who say there is no resurrection”) to make the doctrinal content explicit, and the second aorist verb epērōtēsan is expressed as “they questioned” or “they began to question,” capturing the interrogative confrontation conveyed by the Greek.
In context — Matthew 22:23
On that day Sadducees came to Him , saying that there is no resurrection, and they questioned Him.
