Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

575
Many
of Jesus’ deeds and words constituted a “sign of
contradiction”,³²¹ but more so for the religious authorities in
Jerusalem, whom the Gospel according to John often calls simply “the
Jews”,³²² than for the ordinary People of God.³²³ To be
sure, Christ’s relations with the Pharisees were not exclusively polemical.
Some Pharisees warn him of the danger he was courting;³²⁴ Jesus praises
some of them, like the scribe of Mark 12:34, and dines several times at their
homes.³²⁵ Jesus endorses some of the teachings imparted by this
religious elite of God’s people: the resurrection of the dead,³²⁶
certain forms of piety (almsgiving, fasting and prayer),³²⁷ The custom
of addressing God as Father, and the centrality of the commandment to love God
and neighbour.³²⁸
