When asked about a religious practice (fasting), why does Jesus describe how old and new may not be compatible?

It is because he came to introduce rules of the new testament which requires a new personality, change of mind to involve in spiritual activities like fasting.He told them they cannot fast and recieve spirtitual blessings while still doing evil things and not accepting the rules of God;and god Himself.He wanted to show that fasting is a spiritual process done with a renewed mind, ready to believe and accept the Lord`s will with a clean heart.Not a ritual to do in the absence of mind.

How did Jesus behave in sharp contrast to how religious leaders acted?

He showed that he came for sinners both in word and in action.The scribes and Pharisees think that they are the only righteous people and they have their own classification of who is righteous and who isnot.They believed that God is only for the righteous.But Jesus wanted to show everyone that the son of God came for all who believe, he came for the sinners;since all are sinners.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

because Jesuse was accting as human being so he had to do everything that human being will do except sin .
