L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:1-39

After the power and grace of the Lord Jesus has wrought so great, refreshing blessing, the cold, barren criticism of scribes and Pharisees of Jerusalem is an example of how the deadening principle of legality is always active in strongly opposing the pure work of the grace of God. They challenge the Lord Himself directly, not simply disciples, but being incensed against Him because He did not require His disciples to conform to Jewish tradition by the washing of their hands before eating. This... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:1-39

FIRST MINISTRY TO THE GENTILES Jesus has come. He has proclaimed the nearness of the Kingdom, revealed its code or principles, presented His credentials, and sent forth His heralds. But He has been antagonized and practically rejected by the nation. Then comes the turning point, when He ceases to proclaim the nearness of the Kingdom, and discourses of it in mystery. In seven parables he outlines how it will fare among the nations in the absence of the King. One might suppose that the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 15:1-20

Chapter 63 Defilement Spiritual Not Ceremonial Mat 15:1-20 Not often did Jesus Christ lose his patience, but when that circumstance did occur, it was marked by the utterance of very memorable words. We are sometimes warned not to provoke quiet men. Nor was this loss of patience in the case of Jesus Christ in any sense one of mere irritation or peevishness it was rather a sense of moral indignation. The answer which he made to the Scribes and Pharisees who came from the metropolis was an... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 15:21-31

Chapter 64 Christ Surprised By Faith Mat 15:21-31 Our Lord is now touching upon half-heathen countries, and about to give forecasts of his universal empire. Up to this time he has moved within given geographical limits, now he looks, and almost steps, over the dividing lines. It belonged to the religious genius of Matthew in particular to see beyond Hebrew boundaries, and to note every sign of the universality of the kingdom of Jesus Christ. It was Matthew who brought the Magi from the far... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 15:10-20

"And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: (11) Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. (12) Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? (13) But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. (14) Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 15:21-22

"Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. (22) And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil." We here enter upon that beautiful history, of the woman of Canaan; whose faith is so highly commended by Christ. Every particular in it is interesting. The Evangelist saith, that she was a woman of Canaan; consequently a Gentile. Mark adds... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 15:23-24

"But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. (24) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But Jesus answered her not a word. What a discouragement Was here. Is this the Lord Jesus, who commanded every poor, weary, and heavy laden sinner, to come to him, assuring them, that they should find rest unto their souls. And doth Jesus remain silent, and seemingly inattentive to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 15:25-27

"Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. (26) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs. (27) And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." The poor woman, a true daughter of Abraham, who against hope believed in hope, still held out, under all discouragements; and therefore now ventures nearer to Jesus. She worshipped him in testimony of her belief in his Godhead; and the cry of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 15:28

"Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." Here finisheth the wonderful subject, in the Lord's manifested grace, and her soul's joy. O woman, great is thy faith; belt unto thee even as thou wilt. As if Jesus threw the reins of government into her hand, saying, as by the Prophet, Concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. Isaiah 45:11 . And was there ever... read more
