True, but that is part of the problem. Not accepting Jesus was their failure. Remeber, on Good Friday, the begining of Passover that year, Jews asked Pilot to free Barabas instead of Jesus. They felt Barabas was better suited to free them from the Roman's than Jesus. The main reason most Jews rejected Jesus was because he refused to strike down Roman oppression. It's always about their oppression.
