What would make you think that Jesus was a Pharisee? You can't prove He was.
That's just Jewish hogwash for the gallery.
If a Pharisee went to the Temple, he would have gone into the Jewish court.
Did Jesus ever enter the Jewish court?
How would this sound: " Jesus went to the Temple. After He had performed all
the purification rituals according to the mosaic law, he used a shorcut,
passed through the women's court, went and sat in the Jewish court".
It would sound stupid for most except for messianic Christian Judaizers. A
Christian would ask why would Jesus had to purify Himself?

Judaizers always use the Gospel according to Matthew and I don't blame them,
it's to their advantage. It was likely written for Jews originally.

How about Luke 2:36-38, does it makes any sense to a Jew? Literally, it
makes no sense since Jewish women were not allowed to roam around when they
went to the Temple, they were confined, restricted to the women's court. Who
cares, the author wrote an allegory, in which Anna represents the Jewish
people, not a historical event.
 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Aser. She was far advanced in years and had lived with her husband
seven years from her virginity. 37 And she was a widow until fourscore and
four years: who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers
serving night and day. 38 Now she, at the same hour, coming in, confessed to
the Lord: and spoke of him to all that looked for the redemption of Israel.

Jesus taught Judaism. He was crucified because He taught Judaism. Give me a
break.
