Quote:if they were expecting God incarnate dont you think they wouldve been welcoming to the concept instead of angry ?They would have been welcoming to a divine messiah who endorsed them. They were angry because Jesus said things like:
Matt 23
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
...which is just one of numerous charges against them.
