The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 7:1-37

The Rebukes of Christ [An Analysis] Mark 7:0 This paragraph shows Christ's method of rebuking. The paragraph which immediately succeeds shows Christ's method of instructing. The paragraphs may be taken together in a discourse upon the outward and inward relations of Jesus Christ: his relations to the Pharisees and the general body of the people, and his more secret and spiritual relations to his disciples. In the case of the Pharisees, there was (1) something right; (2) something incomplete;... read more

(14) And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: (15) There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. (16) If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. (17) And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. (18) And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 7:14-23

14-23 Our wicked thoughts and affections, words and actions, defile us, and these only. As a corrupt fountain sends forth corrupt streams, so does a corrupt heart send forth corrupt reasonings, corrupt appetites and passions, and all the wicked words and actions that come from them. A spiritual understanding of the law of God, and a sense of the evil of sin, will cause a man to seek for the grace of the Holy Spirit, to keep down the evil thoughts and affections that work within. read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 7:1-99

Mark 7 AS WE COMMENCE this chapter the opposition of the religious leaders again comes to light. The disciples, filled with labour as verse Mar_7:31 of the previous chapter has told us were not observing certain traditional washings, and this roused the Pharisees, who were the great sticklers for the tradition of the elders. The Lord accepted the challenge on behalf of the disciples, and answered by a searching exposure of the whole Pharisaic position. They were hypocrites, and He told them... read more

2. Contest with the Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem concerning Traditions respecting Eating. Mark 7:1-23.(Parallel: Matthew 15:1-20.) 1Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled [common ], that is to say, with unwashen hands, they found fault.1 3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the 4elders. And... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 7:1-23

Breaking the Bonds of Tradition Mark 7:1-23 The Pharisees laid great stress on ritual. They followed endless rules, both intricate and troublesome, as to ablutions and outward ceremonials. So long as their devotees were careful in the minor observances, they were permitted a wide license so far as the weightier matters of the Law were concerned. This is a natural tendency of the human heart. It is glad to be able to reduce its religious life to an outward and literal obedience, if only its... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:1-37

In strong and clear language the Master denounced tradition as contrary to the commandment of God. 1. Things from without do not defile, and therefore are not sin. Temptation is not sin. 2. Only that is sin which comes from within, which is the deliberate outcome of the determining will of man. 3. Such determinings are the sources of defilement. 4. The list of evil things which the Master gives includes every possible form of evil, and these defile a man when they proceed from him in acts.... read more
