This is a very interesting question. Perhaps I should share a few thoughts with you before giving you my answer.
Let us put this into context. The Jewish leaders including Caiaphas had a position of power. The Jewish people numbered in the millions and followed these leaders of various factions; Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes. Jesus called them hypocrites for teaching "traditions of men as doctrine." Jesus and his followers were Jews, but they were a very small minority even by liberal estimates. So you had the majority of Jews following traditions of men and they hated this small minority of Jews who were attempting to cleanse their worship of "the only true God" whom Jesus serves. (please see John 17:3 and Acts 3:13)
The majority of Jews hating and persecuting a small minority of Jews.
Are you aware that the vast majority of religious leaders today are teaching "traditions of men as doctrine"? Are you aware that a small minority of Christians have discontinued following those doctrines and are in a continual process of cleansing their worship to "the only true God"? Are you aware that the vast majority hate and persecute this small minority?
Yes, Biblical history repeats. The doctrine that teaches ones soul leaves their body after they die and goes somewhere else is unscriptural. So is the doctrine that teaches that God has three personalities that can split apart and exist in three different places at the same time. There are many other traditions of pagans that the religious leaders of today are teaching as doctrine to the masses. But there is one worldwide Christian organization that is hated by those religious leaders and their devoted followers in their various factions.
Study the Bible and learn the truth. Leave off following the modern day Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes with their "traditions of men as doctrines" who are persecuting those preaching the good news of the Kingdom worldwide. One Christian organization is preaching the good news of Jehovah's Kingdom worldwide just as Jesus and the first century Christian organization did. Please study the Bible and learn the truth.
