The Pharisees and temple rulers wanted Jesus DEAD! He threatened their existence; they had come up with the perfect system. They made a bunch of rules (some were originally from God) that were impossible to obey perfectly; in fact, they themselves disobeyed quite often. But then, when people sinned, then they had no access to God, to ask for forgiveness. The people were 'charged' for their 'sins', and thus the rulers had everything - power, respect, money, and they were looked up to. Jesus brought a new theory, that everyone could now access God themselves, they didn't need hypocritical leaders to intercede for them, Jesus was now the interceder for all believers.
