When asking about ‘what the Jews thought’, the question is too broad, even impossible. So I think your on the right path (looking at the groups) - except the ‘common people’ didn’t count - at all. (Arguably) - they were willing to accept Messiah, but always looked to the leaders (Sanhedrin) to decide for them. The only other large grouping (Zealots etc to one side) were the Essenes - who both expected the Messiah at exactly that time, and recognised him. Nevertheless +1 for being ‘on track’.Dave– Dave2021-08-25 02:00:47 +00:00Commented Aug 25, 2021 at 2:00

The question revolves entirely around this ”Thus, they felt the need look for any reason to discredit anyone claiming to be a messiah to eliminate false messiahs.” identifying the true messiah, what were they (specifically the Pharisees) looking for? That’s it what characteristics, attributes, indicators were they looking for in THE genuine Messiah?Nihil Sine Deo– Nihil Sine Deo2021-08-25 02:27:40 +00:00Commented Aug 25, 2021 at 2:27

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. word-study), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
