jesus was always persecuted by jews, he was neither ethnically nor religiously jewish
the "jews" referred to in the bible were people that were from the "tribe of israel", the true meaning of the tribe of israel being a spiritual kingdom for the followers of christ and the righteous, who are the true "jews" mentioned in the bible
the modern day people we know as the jews have literally created a molestation of these holy words in order to distort things to their agenda, such as the physical state of israel
another example is the word zion, in the bible "zion" was the kingdom of heaven. the jews contorted it and named their vicious ideology of stealing land "zionism"
