As previously disclosed, the Sadducees ideologies completely follow law and order, ruling out any greater being and influence upon the earth. It is evident and clear that Jesus would have proposed these perceptions put forth by the people.
Why did they want to kill Jesus?
When Jesus claimed to be the Messiah it meant His authority outweighed their authority. The religious leaders did not believe His claims and were angry that some of the people, the deeds of Jesus also angered the religious leaders.
After seeing Jesus heal a demon-possessed man some of the multitude questioned if Jesus could be the Messiah, Jesus was also a threat to their religious system. He pointed out the hypocrisy that was connected with their practice. The Bible records that on two different occasions He came into the temple precincts and drove out the moneychangers.
