Lol you fail to realize the entirety of the Jewish religious authority wanted him dead. It wasn’t some group of fake Jews, it was the entire power structure that was anti Christ.
Seems like you have a problem with accepting you can be wrong.
You are oversimplifying a complex historical and religious context during the time of Jesus.
While it is true that there were religious leaders and authorities who opposed Jesus during His time, it’s important to recognize that the situation was not uniform across the entire Jewish community. Jesus had followers and supporters among the Jewish people as well. His teachings resonated with many, and He performed miracles that garnered attention and followers.
The opposition to Jesus largely came from certain segments of the religious establishment, primarily the Pharisees and the chief priests, who felt threatened by His teachings and perceived Him as a challenge to their authority. However, it’s not accurate to say that the entire Jewish religious authority was uniformly anti-Christ.
Furthermore, it’s crucial to remember that the decision to crucify Jesus was ultimately in the hands of the Roman authorities, specifically Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. While some religious leaders played a role in pushing for Jesus’ crucifixion, it was a complex interplay of political and religious factors that led to His crucifixion.
The opposition to Jesus during His time was not a unanimous stance across the Jewish religious community. He had both supporters and detractors, and His crucifixion involved a combination of religious and political factors.”
Also, don’t forget there were religious leaders and authorities during Jesus' time who had neutral or even positive stances toward Him:
Nicodemus: Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council (Sanhedrin). He approached Jesus with genuine curiosity and a desire to understand His teachings. In John 3, Nicodemus had a conversation with Jesus about being born again, indicating an open-minded approach to Jesus' message.
Joseph of Arimathea: Joseph was a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin and a secret disciple of Jesus. After Jesus' crucifixion, Joseph courageously went to Pilate to request Jesus' body for burial. This act of providing a proper burial for Jesus shows his respect for Jesus and his willingness to publicly identify with Him.
Gamaliel: Gamaliel was a highly respected Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. In Acts 5:34-40, he urged caution when the Sanhedrin was considering how to deal with the early Christian movement. He argued that if the movement was of human origin, it would fail on its own, but if it was from God, opposing it would be futile. His stance demonstrated a level of open-mindedness.
Zacchaeus: While not a religious leader, Zacchaeus was a tax collector, often seen as a social outcast. When he encountered Jesus, he repented and pledged to make amends for his wrongdoing. Jesus' acceptance of Zacchaeus and his response to Jesus' message indicated a positive transformation.
These individuals, among others, illustrate that not all religious leaders or authorities of that time were opposed to Jesus. Some were genuinely interested in His teachings, while others became followers and supporters of His message.

Yet the religious authorities killed him anyway. Meaning the ruling body was against and carried out the indirect murder.
