Because they were. They were so wrapped up in their traditions that they completely missed Jesus as the Messiah. Not only did they not recognize Him for what He was, but because of pride they felt threatened by Him and His teachings. This is why they had Jesus crucified.

How did Jesus feel about the Pharisees?
Jesus appears to have felt considerable kinship with the Pharisees. He spent long hours in synagogues that were dominated by Pharisees, ate meals with Pharisees, and visited Pharisees in their homes. His arguments with Pharisees make up a significant part of the Gospels. The record of Jesus' arguments with the Pharisees in the Gospels and the record of arguments among the Pharisees in the Talmud suggest that Jesus's style of argument, vehemence and occasional name calling (hypocrites!) were typical Phariseeic behavior. It is quite likely that many Pharisees during Jesus' lifetime considered him to be a Pharisee. Most of what Jesus taught in the Gospels is in accordance with the teachings of the school of Rabbi Hillel -- the more humanist and less legalist school of Phariseeic thought.
Were the scribes supportive of Jesus' teachings?
No. Jesus called them hypocrites in Matthew 23.: 13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. so they were not supporting his teachings
What did the Pharisees call Jesus?
The Pharisees referred to Jesus as "rabbi," a term meaning teacher or master. They also used the derogatory term "Beelzebul" to accuse Jesus of being possessed by demons or Satan.
In Matthew 15 3 to 15 5 is Jesus asking the question rhetorically or is he really calling the pharisees hypocrites for not stoning their disobedient children?
Much like our cultures today regarding religious beliefs the Pharisees were the fundamentalists of that time period re strict religious beliefs and, basically and simply put 'thought they had cornered the market on righteousness) and took teachings of Jesus whose views often conflicted with the rigid beliefs of the Pharisees. It was the PHARISEES who often challenged Jesus. IT WAS NOT JESUS that was judging the Pharisees! Stoning by the Pharisees (a cultural method of punishment) Jesus met these challenges by exposing the hypocrisy of his Pharisee accusers. When Pharisees brought forth a woman for adultery Jesus' response was, "Those who have not sinned cast the first stone!" Therefore Jesus would NOT view children being stoned to death for being disobedient. Jesus consistently pointed out to the morality of the Pharisees of his time that their morality wasn't as correct as they believed that it was. Check out Matt.12:1-2 Matt.15:1-2 Mark 2:15-16 John 8:1-5 Matt. 12:7 Matt 15:3 - 6 What do I think? Jesus is loving and forgiving and it WAS the PHARASEES that were casting the stones upon children and NOT Jesus. Yes, he found the Pharisees hypocrites as I've mentioned above. It boils down to each culture and their belief system and it's repeated over and over again in religious history. Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites because they were ready to stone the woman found in adultery, but notthe man with whom she committed the crime. Furthermore, they had lust in their hearts, which Jesus had said was equivalent to committing adultery, yet they chose not to see it. Most likely he was making the point that even the righteous Pharisees picked and choose parts of the Old Testament, since they refused to stone disobedient children. The point was that if that biblical law can be ignored so can the law about stoning adulteresses. The word hypocrite has its origin in the Greek theatre where the actors used to wear stylized masks and effectively be something they were not. The pharisees, who were all indignant at Jesus' disciples not washing their hands, themselves ignored or sidestepped a more important command to honor and respect parents, thus most certainly making themselves hypocrites. The question is not therefore rhetorical but factual. They certainly were hypocrites. This is not the only place this assessment is made of them. Jesus had some very strong words to say in Matthew 23 as well -the whole chapter.=== === === ===

Who according to Jesus devoured widows' houses?

What were the pharisees criticized Jesus for?
Jesus knew that the Pharisees diligently studied the scriptures. The Pharisee thought that the scriptures were where they were going to get all of "the answers". Instead Jesus himself tried to explain that 'He' was the true light that was coming into the world and that salvation was only attainable by coming directly to him --> John 5:39-47 You can further differentiate what Jesus had to say about the scriptures vs "the Word" by looking at John 1:1-3. This observation (truth) that Jesus had was further reinforced by his teachings as they continued on through the apostles that Jesus appointed. The book of Romans speaks a great deal about the Pharisees' belief in the scriptures (more specifically "the law") and how they thought they could obtain salvation by doing or not doing the right things.
