Mark 8:31
Why are the high priest the one to kill Jesus? Is there another reason why they crucified Jesus? I know that they were jealous, but theres got to be another reason for it.
Mark 9:1
what does Jesus really mean when he said " some of them will never die and see the kingdom of God."
Joh 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Joh 8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
They could not believe that Jesus is God appearing in a human manifestation to them, even though in the Torah in the book of Genesis, God appeared to Abraham in a human manifestation to them, which Jesus said the works He does testifies that He is God.
Mat 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Joh 7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
Joh 7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Many could not believe because Jesus had a natural family, which they would be half brothers, and sisters, and they did not believe the Messiah would have a natural family.
Which Jesus said that a prophet has honor, but not in his own country, for they all grow up with the same traditions, values, and teachings, and religion, and for somebody to say contrary to that they will think where did you get this knowledge, and why cannot we attain to this, for are you better than us, and they will think he is crazy, or a liar, but in another country that has different things about them, they will think that maybe the person has some knowledge that they do not have and they will hear.
Joh 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Joh 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Some did not confess Jesus because they loved their positions in the nation of Israel among the people, and it probably blinded many to not believe at all in the long run after they once believed.
Act 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Act 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Some thought that the Messiah would come and put down Israel's enemies, and they would prosper like in the past, but they did not realize that there has to be a sinless, humble man first, before the kingdom of heaven can be opened to people to have a spiritual relationship with God, and for the kingdom to be restored to Israel.
A lot of Jews today believe that when the Messiah comes there will be peace on earth, which is why they do not accept Jesus as Messiah, for there is not peace on earth in the total sense, but they do not realize that the Messiah had to come first as a humble servant, and then God will allow time to go on for a while to take a people out of the world for His name sake, and then the Messiah will cause peace to come on earth when the allotted time for salvation for the Gentiles is over.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men to have a spiritual relationship with God, the man Christ Jesus.
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth, and in that day there shall be one LORD, and His name one.
Messiah had to come first as a humble servant, and then as King of the world and there will be peace, which the Jews could not accept Jesus because of His humble servant attitude, preaching love and did not physically go against anyone, even His enemies.

Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
When a person receives the Holy Spirit, and with power, the kingdom of God in within them, for they display the ways of God on earth.
Some would not taste of death until the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the day of Pentecost, for then the kingdom of God had come, and Peter preached the first message, and the people started to be added to the Church, which Peter was the first person added to the Church, built upon Christ who is the chief cornerstone, and the head of the Church.
