Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 15:1-20

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 15:1. Of Jerusalem.—From Jerusalem (see R.V.). Probably a deputation from the Sanhedrin sent expressly to watch Him.Matthew 15:2. Transgress the tradition.—The Jews attached greater value to tradition than even to the written law, appealing in support of it to Deuteronomy 4:14; Deuteronomy 17:10 (Meyer). Wash not their hands.—The custom of washing the hands before a meal was not only a cleanly and desirable one, but was rendered absolutely necessary by the habits of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:1-39

Chapter 15Then came to Jesus Scribes and Pharisees, which were from Jerusalem ( Matthew 15:1 ),Hey, these guys had come a long way to challenge Him. They came all the way from Jerusalem clear up to Galilee, which was about a journey of over a week from Jerusalem to Galilee. So they came up to the Galilee and they said,Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? ( Matthew 15:2 )Now the Jews of course had the written law. But on top of the written law, they had developed the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 15:1-39

Matthew 15:2 . Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? The cabala, or unwritten law, was counted by the pharisees of equal authority with the law itself. Rabbi Aquiba says, he who eats with hands unwashed is worthy of death! Rabbi Jose is rather more mild, in saying, the sin is the same as though he cohabited illicitly with a woman! They alleged in defence of those censures, that a man might have touched unawares something unclean. Surely the Lord justly called those... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 15:10

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Ver. 10. And he called the multitude ] The Pharisees, those deaf adders, since they would not be charmed, Christ will lose no more sweet words upon them; but turns them up as desperate, with this inscription on their foreheads: Noluerunt incantari; I would have healed these hypocrites, but they would not be healed. Yea, "When I would have healed Ephraim, then" (to cross me) "their iniquity was discovered," as the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 15:11

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Ver. 11. Not that which goeth into the man, &c. ] Whether with clean or foul hands, taken meat makes not the man guilty of God’s wrath. What! not if abused to surfeiting and drunkenness? saith Bellarmine, who is angry with Christ for this doctrine (as making against theirs directly), and therefore seeks to disprove him. We answer for and with Christ: that he speaks here of... read more

§ 66. DEBATE WITH THE PHARISEES IN REGARD TO TRADITIONS, Matthew 15:1-20 . The scenes of love and faith closing the last chapter are now suddenly reversed. The third passover of our Lord’s ministry to which these vast multitudes were travelling, had now passed, but which, on account of the hostile dispositions of the ruling powers, he did not attend, but remained in the northern parts of Galilee. The Jews, not finding our Lord at the passover, seem to have sent a portion of their number to... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:11

11. Not that which goeth into the mouth… cometh out That is, not the material food that enters the man’s stomach. This is set in contrast to that which goeth out of man; that is, the moral action, that goeth forth from the man’s will and intention. A man’s intentional words defile the soul. And so do his actions, and even his thoughts, for they all alike go forth from himself. Intemperance in food or drink may indeed morally defile a man. But even here the defilement proceeds not... read more
