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 strived to have a relationship with all people. The religious leaders were works oriented and tried to follow rules. Relationship with undesirables was not what they thought was proper. This caused them to put themselves in the place of God in some ways. Jesus desired a relationship with ALL people, especially with the sinners. The leaders didn’t want to have anything to do with the sinners. They felt they were above the people.
