The Pharisees objected because they were true Jews. No Jews in his right mind will accept a man as 'the God'.

You have to bear in mind that The Bible we read today were put together after 325 AD and the Nicene Creed - and Jesus is being portrayed in that particular scene in his new role as God who can forgive sins!

  • And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee [Luke 5:20]. This has to be read and understood within the context that Jesus was merely relaying a message from the only Being who can forgive sins (i.e. God) and Jesus said this in John 5:30 - "By myself I can do nothing as I hear I relay"
  • The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" [Luke 5:21]

However the Pharisees would not have objected if Jesus had said "In the name God the Almighty, Son, your sins are forgiven you"!

How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?

Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.
