DISCOURSE ON CEREMONIAL POLLUTION. ( = Mar 7:1, Mar 7:23). (Mat. 15:1-20) Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem--or "from Jerusalem." Mark (Mar 7:1) says they "came from" it: a deputation p…

1Entonces se acercaron a Jesús ciertos escribas y fariseos de Jerusalén, diciendo:

2¿Por qué tus discípulos quebrantan la tradición de los ancianos? Porque no se lavan las manos cuando comen pan.

3Respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros quebrantáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición?

4Porque Dios mandó diciendo: Honra a tu padre y a tu madre; y: El que maldiga al padre o a la madre, muera irremisiblemente.

5Pero vosotros decís: Cualquiera que diga a su padre o a su madre: Es mi ofrenda a Dios todo aquello con que pudiera ayudarte,

6ya no ha de honrar a su padre o a su madre. Así habéis invalidado el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición.

7Hipócritas, bien profetizó de vosotros Isaías, cuando dijo:

8Este pueblo de labios me honra; Mas su corazón está lejos de mí.

9Pues en vano me honran, Enseñando como doctrinas, mandamientos de hombres.

10Y llamando a sí a la multitud, les dijo: Oíd, y entended:

11No lo que entra en la boca contamina al hombre; mas lo que sale de la boca, esto contamina al hombre.

12Entonces acercándose sus discípulos, le dijeron: ¿Sabes que los fariseos se ofendieron cuando oyeron esta palabra?

13Pero respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada.

14Dejadlos; son ciegos guías de ciegos; y si el ciego guiare al ciego, ambos caerán en el hoyo.

15Respondiendo Pedro, le dijo: Explícanos esta parábola.

16Jesús dijo: ¿También vosotros sois aún sin entendimiento?

17¿No entendéis que todo lo que entra en la boca va al vientre, y es echado en la letrina?

18Pero lo que sale de la boca, del corazón sale; y esto contamina al hombre.

19Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, los homicidios, los adulterios, las fornicaciones, los hurtos, los falsos testimonios, las blasfemias.

20Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; pero el comer con las manos sin lavar no contamina al hombre.

21Saliendo Jesús de allí, se fue a la región de Tiro y de Sidón.

22Y he aquí una mujer cananea que había salido de aquella región clamaba, diciéndole: ¡Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí! Mi hija es gravemente atormentada por un demonio.

23Pero Jesús no le respondió palabra. Entonces acercándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despídela, pues da voces tras nosotros.

24Él respondiendo, dijo: No soy enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel.

25Entonces ella vino y se postró ante él, diciendo: ¡Señor, socórreme!

26Respondiendo él, dijo: No está bien tomar el pan de los hijos, y echarlo a los perrillos.

27Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; pero aun los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.

28Entonces respondiendo Jesús, dijo: Oh mujer, grande es tu fe; hágase contigo como quieres. Y su hija fue sanada desde aquella hora.

29Pasó Jesús de allí y vino junto al mar de Galilea; y subiendo al monte, se sentó allí.

30Y se le acercó mucha gente que traía consigo a cojos, ciegos, mudos, mancos, y otros muchos enfermos; y los pusieron a los pies de Jesús, y los sanó;

31de manera que la multitud se maravillaba, viendo a los mudos hablar, a los mancos sanados, a los cojos andar, y a los ciegos ver; y glorificaban al Dios de Israel.

32Y Jesús, llamando a sus discípulos, dijo: Tengo compasión de la gente, porque ya hace tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer; y enviarlos en ayunas no quiero, no sea que desmayen en el camino.

33Entonces sus discípulos le dijeron: ¿De dónde tenemos nosotros tantos panes en el desierto, para saciar a una multitud tan grande?

34Jesús les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete, y unos pocos pececillos.

35Y mandó a la multitud que se recostase en tierra.

36Y tomando los siete panes y los peces, dio gracias, los partió y dio a sus discípulos, y los discípulos a la multitud.

37Y comieron todos, y se saciaron; y recogieron lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas llenas.

38Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños.

39Entonces, despedida la gente, entró en la barca, y vino a la región de Magdala.

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

Versículo 3

II. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your trad…

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?--The charge is retorted with startling power: "The tradition they transgress is but man's, and is itself the occasion of heavy transgression, undermining the authority of God's law."

Versículo 4

III. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother-- (Deu 5:16).

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother-- (Deu 5:16). and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death-- (Exo 21:17).

Versículo 5

IV. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift--or simply, "A gift!" I…

But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift--or simply, "A gift!" In Mark (Mar 7:11), it is, "Corban!" that is, "An oblation!" meaning, any unbloody offering or gift dedicated to sacred uses. by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

Versículo 6

V. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free--that is, It is true, father--mother--t…

And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free--that is, It is true, father--mother--that by giving to thee this, which I now present, thou mightest be profited by me; but I have gifted it to pious uses, and therefore, at whatever cost to thee, I am not now at liberty to alienate any portion of it. "And," it is added in Mark (Mar 7:12), "ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother." To dedicate property to God is indeed lawful and laudable, but not at the expense of filial duty. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect--cancelled or nullified it "by your tradition."

Versículo 7

VI. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying-- (Isa 29:13).

Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying-- (Isa 29:13).

Versículo 8

VII. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, &c.--By putting the commandments of men on a l…

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, &c.--By putting the commandments of men on a level with the divine requirements, their whole worship was rendered vain--a principle of deep moment in the service of God. "For," it is added in Mar 7:8, "laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do." The drivelling nature of their multitudinous observances is here pointedly exposed, in contrast with the manly observance of "the commandment of God"; and when our Lord says, "Many other such like things ye do," it is implied that He had but given a specimen of the hideous treatment which the divine law received, and the grasping disposition which, under the mask of piety, was manifested by the ecclesiastics of that day.

Versículo 10

VIII. And he called the multitude, and said unto them--The foregoing dialogue, though in the people's h…

And he called the multitude, and said unto them--The foregoing dialogue, though in the people's hearing, was between Jesus and the pharisaic cavillers, whose object was to disparage Him with the people. But Jesus, having put them down, turns to the multitude, who at this time were prepared to drink in everything He said, and with admirable plainness, strength, and brevity, lays down the great principle of real pollution, by which a world of bondage and uneasiness of conscience would be dissipated in a moment, and the sense of sin be reserved for deviations from the holy and eternal law of God. Hear and understand:

Versículo 11

IX. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this …

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man--This is expressed even more emphatically in Mark (Mar 7:15-16), and it is there added, "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." As in Mat 13:9, this so oft-repeated saying seems designed to call attention to the fundamental and universal character of the truth it refers to.

Versículo 12

X. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after …

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?--They had given vent to their irritation, and perhaps threats, not to our Lord Himself, from whom they seem to have slunk away, but to some of the disciples, who report it to their Master.

Versículo 13

XI. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted…

But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up--They are offended, are they? Heed it not: their corrupt teaching is already doomed: the garden of the Lord upon earth, too long cumbered with their presence, shall yet be purged of them and their accursed system: yea, and whatsoever is not of the planting of My heavenly Father, the great Husbandman (Joh 15:1), shall share the same fate.

Versículo 14

XII. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall f…

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch--Striking expression of the ruinous effects of erroneous teaching!

Versículo 15

XIII. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable--"when He was entered into th…

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable--"when He was entered into the house from the people," says Mark (Mar 7:17).

Versículo 16

XIV. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?--Slowness of spiritual apprehension in His…

And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?--Slowness of spiritual apprehension in His genuine disciples grieves the Saviour: from others He expects no better (Mat 13:11).

Versículo 17

XV. Do not ye yet understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth, &c.--Familiar though these say…

Do not ye yet understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth, &c.--Familiar though these sayings have now become, what freedom from bondage to outward things do they proclaim, on the one hand; and on the other, how searching is the truth which they express--that nothing which enters from without can really defile us; and that only the evil that is in the heart, that is allowed to stir there, to rise up in thought and affection, and to flow forth in voluntary action, really defiles a man!

Versículo 19

16. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts--"evil reasonings"; referring here more immediately to…

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts--"evil reasonings"; referring here more immediately to those corrupt reasonings which had stealthily introduced and gradually reared up that hideous fabric of tradition which at length practically nullified the unchangeable principles of the moral law. But the statement is far broader than this; namely that the first shape which the evil that is in the heart takes, when it begins actively to stir, is that of "considerations" or "reasonings" on certain suggested actions. murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies--detractions, whether directed against God or man; here the reference seems to be to the latter. Mark (Mar 7:22) adds, "covetousnesses"--or desires after more; "wickednesses"--here meaning, perhaps, malignities of various forms; "deceit, lasciviousness"--meaning, excess or enormity of any kind, though by later writers restricted to lewdness; "an evil eye"--meaning, all looks or glances of envy, jealousy, or ill will towards a neighbor; "pride, foolishness"--in the Old Testament sense of "folly"; that is, criminal senselessness, the folly of the heart. How appalling is this black catalogue!

Versículo 20

17. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man--Thus …

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man--Thus does our Lord sum up this whole searching discourse.

THE WOMAN OF CANAAN AND HER DAUGHTER. (Mat 15:21-28) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us--(Also see on Mar 7:26.)
