The Controversy Over King Messiah

Pharisaic Judaism believed that the Oral Law (to see link click EiThe Oral Law) was equal to, or even slightly greater than, the 613 commandments written by the human author Moses in the Torah. Thus, the Great Sanhedrin (see Lg The Great Sanhedrin), or the Jewish Supreme Court rejected Jesus as the Messiah at that time. Once He was rejected, the focus of His ministry changed (see EnFour Drastic Changes in Christ’s Ministry).
