Exegesis
The aorist verb prosēlthon {προσῆλθον | prosêlthon} functions as the main finite verb, with the subject Saddoukaioi {Σαδδουκαῖοι | Saddoukaîoi} placed after the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | autô}, creating a mild focus on the one to whom they come (Jesus) before identifying the group.
In context — Matthew 22:23
On that day Sadducees came to Him , saying that there is no resurrection, and they questioned Him.
