Ricky's chapter 5 question

Jews didn't believe that Jesus was the messiah because they were expecting a warrior-king like David that would be like an Achilles and kill all the Romans one by one.  Also they didn't know whether to believe him because sometimes he was all philosophical and sometimes the parables that he spoke not even the disciples understood them. I think that they didn't understand him because he wasn't really say it straight forward and he kept it a secret.
