Question

Why did some Jews believe jesus to be the messiah?

Answer 1

Answer: For some Jews, the name alone is nearly synonymous with pogroms and Crusades, charges of deicide and centuries of Christian anti-Semitism.

Other Jews, recently, have come to regard him as a Jewish teacher. This does not mean, however, that they believe, as Christians do, that he was raised from the dead or was the messiah.

Explanation: this is really the only info i could find. also Jew might believe in Jesus to be the messiah because they were told that, and taught that as a kid.
