Mateo 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:1

Then came to Jesus Scribes and Pharisees
After he had wrought so many miracles, particularly that of feeding five thousand men; besides women and children, with five loaves and two fishes: the fame of which had reached Jerusalem, and occasioned much talk there about him: the Scribes and Pharisees, who were his inveterate enemies, hearing thereof, came to him, where he was, in Galilee: to know the truth of these things, to converse with him, and to watch, and observe, what he said and did;

which were of Jerusalem, saying.
There were Scribes and Pharisees throughout the land, but those of Jerusalem were the chief; they were men of the greatest learning and abilities, and were more expert in their religion and customs: these were either sent by the sanhedrim at Jerusalem, or came of themselves; taking upon them a greater power, and authority of examining, correcting, directing, and advising.

Mateo 15:1 In-Context

1 Jesús enseña acerca de la pureza interior
En ese momento, algunos fariseos y maestros de la ley religiosa llegaron desde Jerusalén para ver a Jesús.

2 —¿Por qué tus discípulos desobedecen nuestra antigua tradición? —le preguntaron—. No respetan la ceremonia de lavarse las manos antes de comer.

3 Jesús les respondió:

4 Por ejemplo, Dios dice: “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”
y “Cualquiera que hable irrespetuosamente de su padre o de su madre tendrá que morir”
.

5 Sin embargo, ustedes dicen que está bien que uno les diga a sus padres: “Lo siento, no puedo ayudarlos porque he jurado darle a Dios lo que les hubiera dado a ustedes”.
