The entirety of Matthew 23 is a complete denunciation of all that the Pharisees did and taught.

Just count the “woes.”

Verse 3, in the original Hebrew reads “ All therefore whatsoever He (referring to Moses) bids you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after the pharisees’ works: for they say, and do not.”

The remainder of the chapter makes that crystal clear.

Also, note that every miracle that is recorded in the gospels directly violated one of the chosen Takanot of the pharisees. That is not an accident.

I can go along with all they did, but all they taught is directly contradicting Christ.

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
