Matthew 15:16 Meaning and 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 easily be accounted for.

Matthew 15:16 In-Context

14 Leave them alone! They are blind leaders. When one blind person leads another, both will fall into the same pit."

15 Peter said to him, "Explain this illustration to us."

16 Jesus said, "Don't you understand yet?

17 Don't you know that whatever goes into the mouth goes into the stomach and then into a toilet?

18 But whatever goes out of the mouth comes from within, and that's what makes a person unclean.
