Jesus was born in Judah, to parents who lived the religious life of those who followed the teaching of Torah, which was explained to all and sundry through the teaching of some 20,000 translators who were all Pharisees.

Let me append to what Mawia said.
Jesus clearly identified with the Jews of His day, although correcting its errors in the process. God purposely sent Him to Judah:

In Habakkuk 1:12b-13, at least the prophet is claiming that even fallen Israel is more righteous than Babylon (emphasis added):
O LORD, you have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, you have ordained them to punish. Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong. Why then are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more ...
