Jesus challenged the religious (perhaps they were pious, perhaps they weren't) leaders for three main reasons.
1) Jesus fundamentally disagreed with their interpretation of scripture. While the religious leaders focused on strict purity codes that separated them from outsiders, Jesus showed that the heart of scriptures is that people can be forgiven their past sins and must pursue new lives of selfless love towards God and others. (Matthew 5:16-48, 10:1-12; John 8:1-11)
2) Jesus cared for the common people, and he felt that their leaders were very poor leaders indeed. (e.g. Matthew 23)
3) The religious leaders did not believe in Jesus, and they were very jealous of his popularity. They therefore challenged him with difficult questions trying to trap him, and he replied by challenging them. (e.g. Mark 7; Matthew 22:15-46; John 8:12-59)
In spite of pious claims by some that the Talmud mentions Jesus, there is no direct or indirect reference anywhere to Jesus.
Jesus is to the leaders of the church, as the head of the church.

The religious leaders once asked Jesus by what power or authority he performed signs and miracles?
In the Bible, they accused Jesus of blasphemy.
Jesus referred to the religious leaders of his time as a "brood of vipers."
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. :)
