The Zealots were the people just under the Pharisees. They absolutely hated the Romans because they ruled their land. The Zealots wanted Jesus dead because He did not live up to their expectations as the Messiah. As Messiah Jesus was expected to deliver all the other nations into the hands of the Zealots but He did none of these things, therefore the Zealots got annoyed and they wanted Him dead. The Zealots also wanted to kill Jesus for his sympathetic behaviour towards tax collectors. This is because the Zealots as a group were strongly different to any form of Roman rule and therefore would have been angry with Jesus for encouraging other Jews to pay their taxes to Caesar whom they opposed. The Zealots wanted to be in charge instead of the Romans: they didn't like the Romans but Jesus liked them! Jesus talked to them, told people to accept them and Jesus welcomed EVERYONE so this also meant the Romans and the Zealots definitely did not like that.

∙ 10y agoDuring the time of Jesus Christ, Judea was part of the Roman empire. At first the zealots who wanted to rid themselves of Roman rule believed that Jesus was the messiah that came to Judea to defeat the Romans and make Judea free. Later when it was clear that Jesus was not a politician or warrior to save Judea from Roman rule, Jesus was considered a menace.
