And are they wrong in their charge?

They were wrong for not converting to Christianity on the spot, like the Good Thief. However, the Jewish Law does not allow for the divinity of Jesus to this day; consequently, then and today Jesus claiming to be the Son of God Who will one day be coming from the clouds of heaven is a violation of the Jewish Law.

Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God? And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven. (Mark 14:61-62)
