Why do Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah? Why Jews don't believe in Jesus?

Why do Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah? Why Jews don't believe in Jesus?

61:6 And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."

(Jesus is from the Children of Israel and announced them a gentile (aka “not Jewish”) to come after him. And according to the article in wikipedia “Prophets in Judaism”, they do not include, for example, Noah, Salih and Ishmael. It indicates that they blindly reject or have prejudices against people outside their group)(Sources of wikipedia’s article: Scherman, Nosson. The Stone Edition Tanach. Mesorah Publications, Limited. p. 2038” and “Megillah 14a and glosses ad loc.”)(See the article below, “Is Muhammad mentioned in the Bible?”)(Allah knows best)

2:91 And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has revealed," they say, "We believe in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what is besides it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the Prophets of Allah before, if you were believers?"

2:87 And indeed We gave Moses the Book and We followed him up with Messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not so, that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what yourselves did not desire, you acted arrogantly? So a party you denied and another party you killed. 2:88 And they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." Nay, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief; so little is that which they believe.

5:70 Certainly We took a Covenant from the Children of Israel and We sent to them Messengers. Whenever any Messenger came to them with what their souls did not desire, a group they denied and a group they kill.

4:156 And for their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander. 4:157 And for their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him; but it was made to appear so to them. And indeed, those who differ in it are surely in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And certainly they did not kill him.

(According to Verse 4:157, the Jews, at that time, knew that Jesus was the Messiah, because they explicitly called him “Messiah” (4:157). The Gospel implicitly confirms and records that the Jews acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, because John 3:1-2 says, “now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”)(Allah knows best)

61:14 O you who believe, be helpers of Allah, as said Jesus, son of Mary, to the disciples, "Who are my helpers for Allah?" The disciples said, "We are the helpers of Allah." Then a group of Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their enemy and they became dominant.

(The disciples were among the Children of Israel and believed in Jesus. So, a group of Children of Israel actually believed, and acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah, and another group disbelieved)(E.g. Mark 8:29 says, “he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “you are the Messiah.”)(Jesus was only sent to the Children of Israel, that’s why all his disciples were among the Children of Israel. According to Matthew 15:24, Jesus said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”)(Allah knows best)

5:110 When Allah said, "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My Favor upon you and upon your mother when I strengthened you with the Holy Spirit, you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity. And when I taught you the Book and the wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you make from clay like the shape of the bird by My permission, then you breath into it, and it becomes a bird by My permission; and you heal those born blind and the leper by My permission; and when you bring forth the dead by My permission. And when I restrained the Children of Israel from you when you came to them with the clear proofs, then those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but clear magic."

(The Jews knew that Jesus was the Messiah because Jesus “came to them with the clear proofs” (5:110))(Jesus used parables; Matthew 13:13 and Luke 8:10 confirm that the purpose of the parables is that they may not understand. According to Matthew 13:34, “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable”. On the other hand, according to Mark 4:34, Jesus explained everything in private to the (“Jewish”) disciples, and according to John 18:20, Jesus said nothing in secret in synagogues or at the temple (Jewish places), and according to Matthew 13:36, Jesus explain a parable in private to the (“Jewish”) disciples. So, one interpretation is that the parables were addressed to non-Jews/gentiles so that they may not understand. On the other hand, Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel (61:14, 43:59, 3:47-50, 5:72, 61:6), and everything was explained to them. Jesus came to the Children of Israel with clear evidences (61:6),and We gave him the Gospel, in it (was) Guidance and light(5:46); so the Gospel was Guidance and light, instead of confusion and unclearness)(Allah knows best)

46:10 Say, "Do you see if it is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel testifies to the like thereof, then he believed, while you are arrogant?" Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

9:31 They have taken their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah, son of Mary, as Lords besides Allah. And they were not commanded except to worship One God. There is no god except Him. Glory be to Him from what they associate.

(According to the site “jewfaq”, the messianic concept comes from Isaiah 2, 11, 42, 59:20, Jeremiah 23, 30, 33, 48:47, 49:39, Ezekiel 38:16, Hosea 3:4-5, Micah 4, Zephaniah 3:9, Zechariah 14:9 and Daniel 10:14, but the specific expression “the Messiah” does not occur in the Tanakh (Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim), so the Jews wrongly or falsely attributed specific events to the coming of a “Messiah”, other than Jesus (e.g. the return of Jews to their homeland and the rebuilding of the Temple, etc.). And since Jews believe that none of these events occurred during the lifetime of Jesus (nor have they occurred afterwards), he was not the Messiah. But, according to the context, for example, Ezekiel 38:21 mentions the word “sword”, and Ezekiel 38:15 mentions the words “riding on horses” (instead of “cars” or “airplanes”), so it suggests that the stories in Ezekiel refer to something that already happened, or to the past, not to a future event, so the Jews are wrongly attributing events to the coming of a “Messiah”, other than Jesus. Likewise, Isaiah 30:16 speaks about riding horses, and there is no mention of the word “Messiah”, but someone is called “branch” in Isaiah 11:1-9. Jeremiah also used the name “branch” in Jer. 23:5-8, and Jews wrongly assume that branch is the messiah, but there is no mention of the word “Messiah”)(The Jews say that the Messiah would be a human being, so they also use the false Christian belief that he was a god, as an excuse to reject him as the Messiah, but Jesus never claimed divinity. See the link below “Is Jesus God or the son of God?”)(Allah knows best)

3:78 And indeed, among them is surely a group - they distort their tongues in the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book. And they say, "This is from Allah." but it is not from Allah. And they say the lie about Allah while they know.

(Another point is that it is said that the Old Testament had multiple authors and that its composition took place over centuries, so it is not a reliable source. So, even if the Bible were to explicitly say that the Messiah is exactly the way Jews expect him to be, the Bible is not a reliable source anyhow)(The New Testament is not a reliable source either. See the link below “Is the Bible corrupted?”)(Jesus came to them with clear proofs (43:63), that’s the evidence that he is the Messiah, and they actually knew it because of the proofs (Qur’an 4:157, John 3:1-2))(Allah knows best)

43:63 And when Jesus came with clear proofs, he said, "Verily, I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ. So fear Allah and obey me.

3:49 And a Messenger to the Children of Israel, "Indeed, I have come to you with a sign from your Lord - that I design for you from clay like the form of the bird, then I breath into it and it becomes a bird by the permission of Allah. And I cure the blind, and the leper, and I give life to the dead by the permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed, in that is surely a sign for you, if you are believers.

5:114 Said Jesus, son of Mary, "O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table spread from the heaven that it may be a festival for us – for the first and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide us and You are best of the providers. 5:115 Allah said, "Indeed I (will) send it down to you, then whoever from among you disbelieves after (that), then indeed, I will punish him with a punishment with which I have not punished anyone among the worlds."
