Pandangan Yahudi tentang Yesus

Eskatologi Yahudi percaya bahwa kedatangan Mesias akan dihubungkan dengan runtunan peristiwa tertentu yang belum terjadi, termasuk kembalinya orang Yahudi ke tanah air mereka dan pembangunan Bait Suci, suatu era Mesianik yang penuh kedamaian dan pengertian di mana selama itu "pengetahuan akan Allah" memenuhi bumi, dan karena orang Yahudi percaya bahwa tidak ada di antara peristiwa ini terjadi dalam kehidupan Yesus (atau setelahnya, kecuali kepulangan orang "And it is tradition: On the eve of Passover they hung Jeshu [the Nazarene]. And the crier went forth before him forty days (saying), [Jeshu the Nazarene] goeth forth to be stoned, because he hath practiced magic and deceived and led Israel astray. Anyone who knoweth aught in his favor, let him come and declare concerning him. And they found naught in his favor. And they hung him on the eve of the Passover. Ulla said, 'Would it be supposed that [Jeshu the Nazarene] a revolutionary, had aught in his favor?' He was a deceiver and the Merciful (i.e. God) hath said (Deut. xiii 8), ‘Thou shalt not spare, neither shalt thou conceal him.’ But it was different with [Jeshu the Nazarene] for he was near the kingdom.'" (Sanhedrin 43a)
Would you believe that any defense would have been so zealously sought for him? He was a deceiver, and the All-merciful says: "You shall not spare him, neither shall you conceal him." It was different with Jesus, for he was near to the kingship. (McDowell & Wilson, p. 65)Yahudi ke tanah Israel), maka Yesus bukan Mesias.
