I'm doing a reading of Luke throughout December with the family. One chapter per day until Christmas. Jesus' ministry on earth was a constant stream of rebukes of the Pharisees. Jesus rightfully called them hypocrites, killers of God's prophets, and parables meant to detail how stupid they were acting, over and over and over. I'd post links and quotes, but it would be best to just read it for oneself.

That's an excellent tradition to start doing annually.

There's a reason the mainline """"Judeo-""" good goys are essentially discouraged from reading the Bible, and instead have it "interpreted" for them by some oftentimes corrupt Preacher/Minister/Father/etc that tries to hitch His murderers to His message.

Because when you read the New Testament beginning to end, it's striking how often and how vociferously Christ condemns them. Oftentimes His words about the jew are the most plainly stated you will find in the Bible; there is no room to interpret what He says about them as anything other than total rebuke & condemnation. Doesn't stop their servants and fellow deceivers from trying, though.

This is what surprised me as well. I'm still reading through the Bible for the first time. I had heard Jesus often rebuked the Pharisees, but had no idea it was often multiple times in every chapter, and that almost every one of his parables was intended to teach his own disciples, while simultaneously shaming and condemning the actions of the Pharisees.


Also, Jesus became quickly surrounded by tons of people wherever he went, after he began healing and teaching people. He could choose where to go. Still, often times he would be in the midst of Pharisees, and even have dinner with them. Even we he ate with them, he would rebuke them to their faces, at their own dinner table. Absolutely stalwart.


Reflecting on that, I think Jesus did that intentionally, to fulfill his need on earth. He used the evil of the Pharisees against them, letting them crucify him to give a pathway to all future Christians. He predicted his own death and crucifixion multiple times.
