The Pharisees and the Sadducees were two BIG religious sects. They were telling people how to be saved and they were basically the authority. People admired them and thought highly of them. Their major differences were in TRADITION. Here's how Jesus judges them and predicts their destiny from all that tradition they followed.
Matthew 16 1.Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 6.Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” 12.Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees
Matthew 23 13.“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14.Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
So, as the verses above state they do not enter the kingdom of heaven and those who follow them don't enter either. So Jesus told them they will go to hell. But why? Let's look at the next verses.
Mark 7 5.Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?” 6.He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7.And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8.For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men —the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do.” 9.He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. 13.making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down.And many such things you do.”
So they don't go to heaven because they chose to follow the traditions the elders in the synagogues told people to do instead of doing what it says in scripture.
Christinity also has 2 very big sects or denominations which follow tradition over scripture and will go to hell. Who are the 2 big sects of the Pharisees and the Sadducees in Christianity today? 2 biggest denominations teaching tradition....who are they? Who's doctrine does Jesus not want us to follow?

Luke 11 43.Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Luke 20 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagoguesand the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
This is too scary how this looks like the pope and priest and like the Pharisees and Sadducees.
1. Love greetings 2. Long flowing robes 3. Places of honor (in the picture it seems like a big event)
1. Long flowing robes 2. Best places (looks like a big important event in the picture) 3. The Pharisees and Sadducees claim to be separate but they are still a partnership and work fairly close together and still have each other's back just like Catholics and Orthodox. (Matthew 22: 34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together)
1. Best seats and most important seats 2. Long flowing robes 3. Place of honor (almost like a throne there in the picture)
