The Jewish authorities would not have wanted to steal Jesus' body; they wanted to insure that the disciples didn't steal it. Matthew 27:64 - "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

Mainly the Jewish authorities were furious that these 'unlettered and ordinary' men were continually and successfully preaching and teaching in the name of an enemy they THOUGHT they'd destroyed, and were jealous of the attention the disciples were getting for the miracles they were performing in the name of Jesus.(Acts 5:16-32,41-42)(Acts 4:11-31) The disciples were constantly 'in trouble' because they would not stop.

Prior to the Resurrection, the disciples did not fully understand who Jesus was. After His death, none of them believed that He would live again.It was only when they saw Him bodily and had his identity confirmed that they believed. What they witnessed turned them from fearful men hiding from the Jewish authorities into bold witnesses of what they had seen and who Jesus really was. Many of them would suffer greatly for sticking to their testimony.

Would you write Jesus's or Jesus'?

I would write "Jesus's." Some prefer "Jesus'." "Jesus's" is always acceptable. Some authorities permit "Jesus' " as an accepted archaism. ("Jesus' " could also refer to something belonging to a family named Jesu, as in, "the Jesus' house, where George Jesu and his parents live.") .

Why do people hate the Jews when it was the Italians who killed the Rabbi Jesus?

The Jews are blamed for the death of Jesus because it was the Jewish religious leaders who manipulated Herod and Pilate into crucifying Jesus by charging Jesus with breaking certain Jewish laws making him worthy of death. The Romans would have rather released Jesus that day and crucified Barabbas. But the Jewish mobs at the behest of the Jewish leaders clamored for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
