I dunno, feels like cope.
Jesus whupped the Parisees, rhetorically and literally, in "His Father's house". He recognized them as the priests and learned men of his people but saw that they were corrupt and prideful. If he didn't think they had some sort of legitimate authority over the people of Israel, why did he waste any time on them?
I think it's more a matter of God's chosen people (who continually sinned against him throughout the Bible, if you'll recall, frequently requiring punishment) finally tried his patience to the point that he gave them an ultimatum: follow my Son with any other people who chose to do so, or go to Hell.
The Jews of today are the (mixed) descendants of the ones who sided against Christ. Every other Isrealite converted to Christianity.
