Mateus 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:10

And he called the multitude
Having silenced the Scribes and Pharisees, and judging it not worth his while to say any more to men so obstinate and perverse; who were not open to conviction, nor would attend to any argument or reason, though ever so clear and strong, against their darling notions; he leaves them, as both disliking them, and despairing of them, and calls to the common people; who, through their great veneration for these men, upon their coming withdrew, and stood at a distance; nor indeed would they admit them very near unto them, lest they should be polluted by them: Christ, I say, calls to these to come nearer to him, hoping better of them, and knowing that they were more tractable, and teachable; and that there were some among them, that were to be brought off of their former principles and prejudices, to embrace him, and the truths delivered by him:

and said unto them, hear and understand;
this he said, partly, by way of reflection upon the learned Scribes and Pharisees, who, with all their learning, could not hear him so as to understand him; and partly to excite the attention of the multitude to what he had to say; as also to show, that barely to hear with the outward hearing of the ear, will be of no service, unless what is heard is understood; and that the way to understand, is to hear.

Mateus 15:10 In-Context

8 “ ‘Este povo me honra com os lábios,mas o seu coração está longe de mim.

9 Em vão me adoram;seus ensinamentos não passam de regras ensinadas por homens’.”

10 Jesus chamou para junto de si a multidão e disse: “Ouçam e entendam.

11 O que entra pela boca não torna o homem impuro; mas o que sai de sua boca, isto o torna impuro”.

12 Então os discípulos se aproximaram dele e perguntaram: “Sabes que os fariseus ficaram ofendidos quando ouviram isso?”
