Jesus told the Jews that the kingdom of God would be taken from them and given to a nation who would bear the fruit of it.
"Therefore I say to you that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing its fruit." (Matt. 21:43)
He expected opposition from the leaders of Judaism. He expected that the chief builders of that religious structure would reject the cornerstone of the Son of God.
"Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, this has become the head of the corner. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes." (Matt. 21:42)
They were not going to accept Christ the cornerstone. They were going to REJECT Him.
yes, sanhedrins ( like paul ) but jesus was not telling anyone to fear the ordinary jewish people whom he wanted to fill the synagogues with his new reformation of judiasm.
