What does this mean:

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.”(Matthew 23:1-4).

This is sayiny that the Pharisees are hypocrites, that what they do say are not what you see them doing. Fir they will come and say my brother and my sisters repent for the kingdom of God is at hand and the next minute you see the same person preached to you about repentance, going against the will of God.
