[Daniel_Marsh]

Jewish people reject Jesus as the Messiah because he didn’t fulfill Jewish expectations of the Messiah.

Ephesians 3:4-5 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

In our Catholic Bible, we have all the books which Jesus and the Apostles would have used at His time on Earth. There were later books written by Jews that rejected Jesus, such as the Talmud (as well as books removed, which include the deterocanonicals which is why protestant Bibles removed them (they removed them on the authority of the same Jews that rejected Jesus Christ. the decision to remove those books happened at a Rabbinic council in Jerusalem in 90 AD by the same Jews who were persecuting Christians at the time. in the book of Maccabees you can find the story of Chanukah), which were written by various rabbis. Jewish tradition (after the time of Jesus) considers the Talmud as authorative, but Catholicism does not because Christianity and Judaism took a split with each other finally after the Jewish-Roman war. Christianity was an outlawed religion at the time, and Christians who still participated in the Synagogue were being turned in by their fellow Jews to the Roman authorities. The Church is the New Israel which was founded by Christ and is the fullfilment of the Old Testament. If there’s more scriptures you’re talking about please be specific.

Onto your other question… why did some Jews during Jesus’ time reject Jesus? For the same reason that they rejected others before Him such as almost all the prophets. But this time they didn’t just reject just a prophet, they rejected the Word Incarnate, the Messiah. They believed the Messiah would setup a temporal kingdom, not open up the Heavenly kingdom (before Jesus came, all people who died went to Abraham’s bosom, or the Limbo of tthe fathers).
