....” A man who unites the Jews and drives out foreign power will be a hero. And remember, THAT is the Messiah they were looking for”....
That was explained to you...Jesus changed how they should be thinking concerning him and the law as he taught them the truth for three years...He opened their minds to what the OT law and Prophets really stated and meant....not as the Pharisees and Sadducee's insisted it said. Which is why throngs of people followed Him...they 'identified with the truth Jesus spoke, even when they may not have fully understood it. Truth will always appeal to the heart and soul of men....'IF' they are seeking it.

No, actually, there's no evidence he really did. Some may have changed their minds years later when it was evident he wasn't coming back. I'd say Paul helped craft his image in later years, but during his lifetime they clearly thought he was supposed to be King of Israel, and there is a very good reason they thought that.

No he didn't. He was there to uphold it just as they interpreted it. He was there to unite the Jews, gather a cabinet together, enter Jerusalem triumphantly, and begin coalescing power for a political stand. However, he ran into the same problem anyone runs into when trying to unite warring factions: he got killed.
