In what ways did Jesus anger the religious leaders during His three years of public ministry within the walls of Jerusalem and along the shores of Galilee?

[Austin]

Jesus angered the religious leaders by the works He did and by justifying why He could do what He was doing. They could not prove Him wrong.

[Austin]

Jesus, being God incarnate, was not tied to rules and regulations which the religious leaders were. They held no hold over Him and they didn’t like it one bit

[Austin]

Jesus challenged there interpretation of scripture. Jesus healed people on the sabbath, infuriating the Pharisees because of their code against working on the sabbath. They added to the word of God making it very burdensome upon believers. Jesus miraculously healed, fed, and taught with authority in ways they had never heard. He didn’t come in the manner they expected, so they discounted him. So much more…

[Austin]

Jesus called on their hypocrisy. The leaders expected everyone to follow the law and punished those who did not. However, there was no judgement when they themselves failed to follow one. They felt superior because of their knowledge, but they did not have what Jesus was talking about; grace and humility.

[Austin]

Jesus angered the religious leaders during His three years of public ministry within the walls of Jerusalem and along the shores of Galilee through many things including miracles. They also did not like that he did things on Sundays plus various other things.
