Hi Abigail, (((( Smiles))))
It seems that the problem that Jesus had with the Pharisees is with their tradition's that where non biblical.

Quote
Matthew 15:3-6
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition
.

Jesus had problems with their doctrines as they were teaching the doctrines of God "as" the commandments of men.

making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”
Mark 7:13
Jesus said the Pharisees were filled with lawlessness because they did not keep God's law.

Quote
Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
John 7:19
Quote
They were hypocrites because they were lawless and went by their traditions and taught the doctrine of man.
The Karaite Jews reject the traditions and added doctrine by the Pharisees and only goes by whats in the scriptures as the authority of God alone.
They are Bible based of what was written back then as there was no New Testament while Jesus/Yeshua walked the earth.

And the Pharisees were not keeping God's law in lew of their traditions Jesus pointed out to them. So was his message back then more of a Karaite one?

The list of main beliefs to Karaite Judaism are called the "Tuv Taam." It is called this because those are the first two words in Hebrew of the beliefs. These beliefs are:
**There is one God who is the creator of the world.
**The Torah that Moses gave to the Jews at Mount Sinai is the truth.
**The Torah is perfect and there is no need for any other Rabbinic texts (like the Talmud)
**There is a reward for those who follow the rules of the Torah
Back then.
