Question

Why did the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain about Jesus

Answer 1

The Pharisees and teachers of religious law complained about Jesus due to his disapproval of them.

The Pharisees separated themselves from the society under the beliefs that the common man was religiously unclean. Jesus disapproved of their beliefs and often scolded them for their actions and arrogance.

Jesus accused the Pharisees of being hypocrites and sinners. In the end, the Pharisees conspired against Jesus and demanded his death. They did not believe that the Messiah would sacrifice himself for the world.
