Just a point ....
Perhaps you might want to think differently about the Pharisees? Since Jesus called them sons of vipers. Can vipers do anything good? They wanted Jesus gone. Jesus was constantly getting in their face about the hypocrisy.
That's all Peter...going back to what I was doing.

Nicodemus for instance. And many later came to faith, so they were not all lost
and in total rebellion against God. It is why it is wrong to say everything the pharisees
did was wrong. Jesus emphasised their righteous teaching was good, just they did not
follow it themselves.
The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.
Matt 23:2-3
