Matthew 15:1-20
1. Why were the Pharisees offended?
Jesus called the Pharisees hypocrites for they honor Christ with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. They worship in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.
2. What did Jesus explain?
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'
Whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.'
