How does the teaching of Jesus differ from that of the Pharisees?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus taught with authority and conviction, which contrasted sharply with the Pharisees' reliance on traditions.

The teaching of Jesus was distinctly different from that of the Pharisees in that He spoke with Divine authority, as noted in Mark 1:22. The Pharisees elaborated on the Law but often did so in ways that burdened the people rather than liberating them. In contrast, Jesus' ministry, as exemplified in His invitation to 'come unto me,' offered living water and rest. His unique approach and understanding of Scripture delivered hope and life, resonating with those who were weary. This raised profound questions about authority and challenged the established religious order of His time.
