Bible Question:
who were Jesus main opponents during public ministry time? why did they oppose him and how? |
Bible Answer: Hi Rose, That question could call for a very long answer, but I will keep it short. The Pharisees opposed Jesus for selfish reasons. They were particularly disturbed over his acts of healing people during the Sabbath as well as His claims of divinity. The Pharisees followed Jesus and his disciples trying to catch them breaking the law (Matthew 12:1,2). Some verbally attacked Jesus and his disciples for violating established Jewish tradition (Matthew 15:1,2). Some accused Jesus of violating the Sabbath doing work on that day (Matthew 12:9-14). Some accused Jesus of obtained his power from Satan (Matthew 12:24). They also tried to trap Jesus in his teachings (Matthew 22:15), and supported the plan to kill Jesus "for the good of the nation" (John 11:46-50). But, not all Pharisees were "bad Pharisees " Nicodemus was a Pharisee (John 3:1) Also, “the Jews” seems to apply to all Jews, as if all Jews were opposed to Jesus. This is one way of reading it. The Scribes were in opposition because they "knew the Scripture so well", that they believed it was someone other than Jesus who was to be the Messiah. Saul, of Tarsus opposed Jesus, through the persecution of His Church. Also, satan opposes Jesus, just stating the obvious to get this enemy on the list. The list goes on, -do atheists actually 'hate' Jesus? blessings, keliy |
