He does rail against the pharisees, even as they attempt to maintain control according to the old law. But he might just be talking about Satan too, as he mentions that god sent him. If he thought the god of the old testament was evil, he wouldn't serve him. Supposedly.I think it highly likely that Jesus was illiterate and never read any of the OT scriptures.
In Luke 4:21 Jesus reads from a scroll to the synagogue.

I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion, certainly if read in any kind of context it does not seem that way.
Even if you believe it's all made up it does not alter the context or the setting of the story.

When you quote it to make a point sure it does.
Does it matter overall, I doubt it.
