In the gospels, Jesus repeatedly says, as at Luke 18:31-33, that what was written by the prophets of the Son of Man will be fulfilled in him, as he is to be handed over to the Gentiles, abused, flogged, and killed; and on the third day he will rise again.
Again, repeatedly, we are told of the rejection of Jesus by the Jewish authorities.
See Luke 19:47, 48.
47 Every day he was teaching in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him;
48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.
Jesus' chronic hostility to the Pharisees, lawyers, and other authorities is shown throughout as bitterly reciprocated.
See also Luke 20:1-8.
For the authorities he is a problem of police, order, religious orthodoxy, and even riot control.
Is Luke 20:9-19 only against "the scribes and the chief priests"?
It recalls parables in which, apparently, his message and kingdom, rejected by the Jews, are passed on to the benefit of others.
