matthew-15:10-11

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 15:1-99

Matthew 15 Into THIS LOVELY scene intruded scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem with their complaint and question as to the non-compliance of the disciples with the tradition of the elders as to the washing of hands. Just imagine the scene. The Son of God dispensing healing on every hand in the fulness of Divine grace, and these men, utterly blind to all that was happening, breaking in with their point of order. Blinded by legal technicalities, they could not perceive Divine grace working in... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 15:10-11

Christ appeals to the people: v. 10. And He called the multitude and said unto them, Hear and understand: v. 11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Publicly had He been attacked by the Pharisees, publicly He defended Himself. There is a definite connection of this parabolic saying with the matter in dispute. This they should note carefully and try to understand. His reference is to moral defilement, to uncleanness... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 15:10-20

What Really Defiles Matthew 15:10-20 It is good to study our Lord’s list of the sources of soul-pollution. Evil thoughts come first. We cannot prevent an evil suggestion being presented to our minds, but we can refuse to dwell on it. To resist the inclination to dwell on it strengthens us in the opposite direction; to yield to it is to commit the sin in our heart, which, in God’s sight, is equivalent to the outward act. Notice that railing, that is, unkind and uncharitable speech, is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 15:1-39

The question was not of cleanliness, but of ritual. This washing of hands to remove imaginary evil was a part of the tradition of the elders. Against the binding of such burdens on men our Lord passionately protests. 'The commandment of God" (verse Mat 15:3 ). This is the one and only burden that men ought to bear, and this fact our Lord proceeded to enforce by illustration and teaching. Then going into Tyre and Sidon, we have one of the sweetest stories of them all-the mother heart carrying... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:1-39

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:10

‘And he called to him the crowd, and said to them, “Hear, and understand.” ’ Jesus first calls the crowd, who have been aware of His spat with the Pharisees and Scribes, but who had probably been standing back out of respect for them. After all these were the great Teachers of the Law. And He calls them to come and listen to what He now has to say. He stresses to them the necessity for deep thought. They are to listen, and make sure that they understand. It is as important as that. For if they... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:11

“It is not what enters into the mouth which defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.” Genuine religious defilement in the eyes of God is not caused by what men eat, but by what is inside a man and comes out in what he says. As He has previously warned, ‘For every idle word that a man shall speak, he will give account of it in the Day of Judgment’ (Matthew 12:36). It is such words that reveal what is truly in a man’s heart. If the question is, ‘How are we to... read more

Matthew 15:1-Proverbs : . The Washing of Hands and the Traditions of the Elders ( Mark 7:1-Isaiah : *).— Mt. is again briefer than Mk. He omits the parenthetical explanation Mark 7:3 f. and the technical term “ Corban,” turns the statement of Mark 7:9 into a question ( Matthew 15:3), and puts the quotation from Isaiah as a climax after the “ Corban” passage. He also substitutes “ God” ( Matthew 15:4) for “ Moses” ( Mark 7:10) to heighten the antithesis with “ But you say” ( Matthew 15:5),... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 15:10-11

Mark hath the same, Mark 7:15. Our Saviour turns off his discourse from the Pharisees and scribes, who he saw were indocible, to the multitude, in whom he discerned a more teachable temper: he useth the preface, Hear, and understand, as well knowing how they had been taught, and what an advantage error in possession hath. That which he tells them, and that before the scribes and Pharisees, (as will appear by the following verses), was, that that which goeth into a man doth not defile him, but... read more
