In the story, they are the Sadducees. Jesus scoffed at them. He went up against the Pharisees more, but that's something like a modern American leftist arguing against the Democrats. They tend to agree 95% of the time, at least on paper.
When I used to, like, try and be a good person, I often got to point out to Christians that I was the closest thing they would ever meet to their messiah. Watching their faces was so fun.
Basically all those miracles are pretty easy sleight of hand.
Turn one fish into ten? Just requires a huge bag. Turn water into wine? It takes a few months, but the hard part is doing it well, not doing it at all. Turning blood into booze? You just need some everclear and an IV needle.
"Hey did you hear about Mary's kid? Yeah, the commie. They picked him up on Friday. I knew some shit was gonna go down, but it's a shame. He made us a really nice table back in the day."
As noted biblical historian Andrew Zaltzman has often pointed out, Pontius Pilate was a law-and-order administrator and Jesus was absolutely guilty under the law at the time.
Wasn't "woke" originally a good term until right wing screechers took it over at an insult? They do that a lot, every time some positive phrase or idea starts to gain traction. Seems intentional.
Right, it happens every time cops beat or kill someone. They had cocaine in their systems, or they got arrested once before, or there's a teacher who said they got detention a lot. In their minds, that's enough to think of them as a Bad Person, and therefore deserved it.

Modern conservative Christians would have hated Jesus. Seriously.

But what if he turned into back into water?
But also, wasn't the wine also his blood? Did he have like an blood alcohol level of 100%?

The catholics explicitly state that those crackers are the actual, literal “body of christ” so yes they are cannibals, and they like it.

Poisoning a word that means "not ignorant of the systems of oppression in the world" sounds like a great game plan for the oppressor.
