He called them serpents and "generation of vipers." (Matthew 12.34,23.33 & Luke3.7)
He called their father, the devil. (John 8.44)
He asked them how they could hope to escape hell fire, (Matthew 23.33)
Yet for all this they crucified him, so they were not corrected!
The religious leaders once asked Jesus by what power or authority he performed signs and miracles?
Jesus referred to the religious leaders of his time as a "brood of vipers."
In the Bible, they accused Jesus of blasphemy.
Jesus told the man that his sins were forgiven. The religious leaders believed that Jesus did not have the right to forgive people of their sins. :)
They were the Religious leaders of the church
They tried to trick Jesus on a sabath.
jesus
The Pharisees which were Jewish religious leaders
They were the pharasees.
When Jesus refers to the religious leaders as a "brood of vipers" in the Bible, he is criticizing them for being deceitful and hypocritical, comparing them to venomous snakes that are dangerous and harmful. Jesus is highlighting their dishonesty and lack of true righteousness.
Since Jesus is the son of God, He would be king of the Jews. Him being a king would make him a threat to King Ceaser, and the religious leaders feared that they would lose their positions.
Well all these anwsers are correct but what did he leaders represent and everyone wants more.
