マタイの福音書 15:1-21 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:12

Then came his disciples, and said unto him ,.... That is, after he had dismissed the people, and was come into a private house; see Mark 7:17 his disciples came to him, being alone, full of concern, for what he had said to the Pharisees, and before all the people; and not so well understanding it themselves. Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying? , that they set aside the commandments of God, by observing the traditions of the elders; or that they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:13

But he answered, and said ,.... As being unconcerned at their rage, and having nothing to fear from them; and being well satisfied, that what he had said was right, and would produce proper effects, he gave his disciples this for answer: every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up ; which may be understood either of things, or of persons: it may have regard to doctrines and ordinances; and the meaning be, that whatever doctrine is not delivered by God, or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:14

Let them alone ,.... Have nothing to say, or do with them; do not mind their anger and resentment, their reproaches and reflections, nor trouble yourselves at the offence they have taken; if they will go, let them go; they are a worthless generation of men, who are not to be regarded, hearkened to, nor to be pleased; it matters not what they say of me, and of my doctrine: they be blind leaders of the blind ; the people that hearken to them, and are followers of them, are "blind", as to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:15

Then answered Peter ,.... Mark says, "his disciples asked him concerning the parable"; which might be by the mouth of Peter; who, probably, being the eldest man, and very forward to speak, was generally their spokesman: and who, at this time, might be requested, by the rest, to ask the meaning of the parable, which had given offence to the Pharisees, and was not clearly understood by them; which he accordingly did: and said unto him, declare unto us this parable ; that not what goes into... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:16

And Jesus said ,.... As wondering at, and as being displeased with, and as reproving them for their dulness and ignorance: are ye also yet without understanding? you, my disciples, as well as the Scribes and Pharisees; you, who have been with me so long, who have heard so many discourses from me, who for so long a time have been instructed by me, both in private, and in public; and yet do not understand what is so plain and easy, that has nothing of difficulty in it, but what might... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:17

Do not ye understand ,.... You must understand, you cannot be so ignorant, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? that is, that whatsoever food a man takes in at his mouth, he swallows down, and it is received into his stomach; which, having performed its office, the grosser parts go down into the belly, and passing through the bowels, are evacuated into the vault, or privy, "purging all meats", as Mark says; for that only... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:18

But those things which proceed out of the mouth ,.... Meaning not material things, as spittle, vomit, &c.; but, as it follows, which come forth from the heart : are first conceived and formed there, and then come forth from thence, and are expressed by the mouth; as all idle words, foolish talking, filthy jesting, unsavoury communication, and every word that is rotten and corrupt, or which is done in the life and conversation; and they defile the man : the heart is the corrupt... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:19

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts ,.... Of God, of Christ, of the Spirit, of fellow creatures, and of all sorts of wickedness. The thoughts of sin are evil, are to be hated, forsaken, and for which men are accountable to God. All wicked imaginations, carnal reasonings, lustful desires, and malicious contrivances, are here included; which take their rise from, and are devised, and forged, in the corrupt heart of man. Murders ; inveterate hatred of men's persons, malice prepense,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:20

These are the things which defile a man ,.... These are filthy in themselves, and must pollute all in whom they are; they bring a defilement on the whole man, both body and soul, fasten guilt upon him, and expose him to everlasting punishment: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man : should a man neglect to wash his bands before eating a common meal, this need give him no uneasiness; he contracts no filth to his soul hereby, nor any guilt to his conscience; nor does he break... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:21

Then Jesus went thence ,.... From the land of Gennesaret, after he had silenced the Pharisees, as to the charge brought by them against his disciples; and when he had reproved them for their hypocrisy and wickedness, in making void the commands of God by their traditions; and had explained some difficult and parabolical sayings he had made use of to his disciples, he then left that country, and departed very privately: either to shun the multitude, for the sake of retirement; or to avoid any... read more
