Why were the people in the synagogue enraged when Jesus talked about the old testament prophets?

They were enraged on account of the fact that Jesus was consistently disagreeing with them even though he lacked the ostensible qualifications to do so. From the Christian perspective, of course, since Jesus was an incarnation of the Divine, this seems difficult to swallow, but the people of the synagogue did not accept this view. As a result, his consistent repudiation of their conduct was not well taken.
(To get an idea of this perspective, imagine somebody entered your place of worship and proceeded to listen to sermon given by your priest or equivalent. After every few sentences, he would just shout: "No, that's incorrect" or "No, you're just misinterpreting, I know what's going on". This would get you angry as well as most of the fellow religious individuals, because that person has not justified on any reasonable grounds that he knows the Truth better than the priest.)
