 *(From: MATTHEW #24 - 15:1-20)*


 B. 15:1-20 ESSENTIAL FALSITY OF THE PHARISEE POSITION

1. 15:1-11 TRADITION MAKING VOID THE WORD OF GOD

a. 15:1-2 THE PHARISEES NIT-PICK

*Then come to :Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and Scribes, saying,*

TOte proSERchon-tai t*o* I*e*SOU aPO Ie-ro-soLUm*o*n Pha-riSAIoi kai
gram-maTEIS, LEgon-tes,

2 *Why do your :disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?*

DiA ti hoi ma-th*e*TAI sou pa-raBAInou-sin [3845] t*e*n paRAdo-sin [3862] t*
o*n pres-buTEr*o*n [4245]?

*for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.*

ou gar NIPton-tai [3538] tas CHEIras HOtan ARton esTHI*o*-sin.


 b. 15:3 JESUS REVERSES THE SITUATION

*But he answered and said to them, Why do YOU also transgress*

ho de a-po-kriTHEIS EIpen auTOIS, DiA ti kai huMEIS pa-raBAIne-te [3845]

*the commandment of :God because of your :tradition?*

t*e*n en-toL*E*N [1785] tou TheOU diA t*e*n paRAdo-sin [3862] huM*O*N?


 c. 15:4 GOD'S WORD THROUGH MOSES

*For :God said, Honor your :father and :mother:*

ho gar TheOS EIpen, TIma [5091] ton paTEra kai t*e*n m*e*TEra:

*and, Who reviles father or mother, let him die.*

kai, Ho ka-ko-loG*O*N [2551] paTEra *e* m*e*TEra, thaNAt*o* [2288] te-leuTAt
*o* [5053].


 d. 15:5 THE HYPOCRISY OF THE PHARISEES

*But YOU say, Whoever shall say to his :father or :mother,*

huMEIS de LEge-te, Hos an EIp*e* t*o* paTRI *e* t*e* m*e*TRI,

*That with which you might have profited by me is a gift to God, shall in
no wise honor his :father.*

D*O*ron [1435] ho eAN ex eMOU *o*-phe-l*e*TH*E*S [5623], ou m*e* tiM*E*sei
ton paTEra auTOU.


 e. 15:6* And you made void the law of :God because of your :tradition.*

kai *e*-kuR*O*sa-te [208] ton NOmon tou TheOU diA t*e*n paRAdo-sin huM*O*N.


 f. 15:7-8 JESUS NAILS THEIR HYPOCRISY

*You** hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, *

hu-po-kriTAI [5273], kaL*O*S e-proPH*E*teu-sen peRI huM*O*N *E*-SAIas, LEg*o
*n,
 8 *This :people honors me with their lips; but their :heart is far from me.
*

Ho laOS HOUtos tois CHEIleSIN [5491] me tiMA; h*e* de karDIa auT*O*N
PORr*o*aPEchei
[568] ap' eMOU.


 g. 15:9 * But in vain they worship me, Teaching for doctrines precepts of
men.*

MAt*e*n [3155] de SEbonTAI [4576] me, diDAskon-tes di-da-skaLIas enTALma-ta
[1778] anTHR*O*p*o*n.


 h. 15:10-11 JESUS EMPHASIZES THE PROBLEM

*And he called to him the crowd, and said to them, Hear, and understand:*

kai pro-ska-leSAme-nos [4341] ton OCHlon, EIpen auTOIS, A-KOUe-te, kai
suNIe-te [4920]:

11* Not what comes into the mouth defiles the man;*

ou to ei-serCHOme-non eis to STOma koiNOI [2840] ton ANthr*o*-pon;

*but what goes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.*

alLA to ek-po-reuOme-non [1607] ek tou STOma-tos, TOUto koiNOI ton ANthr*o*
-pon.


 2. 15:12-14 COMMAND: LEAVE BLIND GUIDES ALONE!

a. 15:12 THE DISCIPLES' CONCERN

*Then come the disciples, and say to him,*

TOte pro-selTHONtes hoi ma-th*e*TAI, LEgou-sin auT*O*,

*Do you not know that the Pharisees were stumbled, when they heard the
saying?*

OIdas HOti hoi Pha-riSAIoi aKOUsan-tes ton LOgon, e-skan-daLISth*e*-san
[4624]?


 b. 15:13 JESUS' STERN REPLY

*But he answered and said, Every planting*

ho de a-po-kriTHEIS EIpen, PAsa phuTEIa [5451]

*which my :heavenly :Father planted not, shall be rooted up.*

h*e*n ouk ePHUteu-sen [5452] ho paT*E*R mou ho ouRAni-os, e-kri-z*o*TH*E*se-tai
[1610].


 c. 15:14a * Leave them, they are blind guides.*

Aphe-te [863] auTOUS, tuphLOI [5185] ei-sin ho-d*e*GOI [3595].


 d. 15:14b* And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into a pit.*

tuphLOS de tuphLON eAN ho-d*e*G*E*, amPHOte-roi [297] eis BOthu-non
[999]peSOUNtai
[4098].


 3. 15:15-20 INTERPRETATION OF WORDS THAT DEFILE

a. 15:15* And :Peter answered and said to him, Declare to us the parable.*

A-po-kriTHEIS de ho PEtros EIpen auT*O*, PHRAson [5419] h*e*MIN t*e*n
pa-ra-boL*E*N.


 b. 15:16* And he said, Are you also even yet without understanding?*

ho de EIpen, AkM*E*N kai huMEIS aSUneTOI [801] es-te?


 c. 15:17 NEUTRALITY OF WHAT ENTERS THE MOUTH

*Do you not perceive, that all that goes into the mouth*

ou noEIte [3539], HOti pan to ei-spo-reuOme-non [1531] eis to STOma

*passes into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?*

eis t*e*n koiLIan [2826] ch*o*REI [5562], kai eis a-pheDR*O*na [856]ekBALle-tai
[1544]?


 d. 15:18 DEFILEMENT: THROUGH WHAT COMES *OUT* *OF* THE MOUTH

*But the things which go out of the mouth*

ta de ek-po-reuOme-na ek tou STOma-tos

*come forth out of the heart; and those defile the man.*

ek t*e*s karDIas eXERche-tai; ka' 'KEIna koiNOI [2840] ton ANthr*o*-pon.


 e. 15:19-20 A LIST OF DEFILEMENT FROM THE HEART

*For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, *

ek gar t*e*s karDIas eXERchon-tai di-a-lo-gisMOI [1261] po-n*e*ROI, PHOnoi
[5408],

*adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies:*

moiCHEIai [3430], porNEIa [4202], kloPAI [2829], pseu-do-mar-tuRIai [5577],
blas-ph*e*MIai [988]:

20* these are what defile the man;*

TAU-TA es-tin ta koiNOUNta [2840] ton ANthr*o*-pon;

*but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not the man.*

to de a-nipTOIS [449] cherSIN [5495] phaGEIN ou koiNOI ton ANthr*o*-pon.


 *NOTE**: *Jesus is *very* clear in this passage - both to the Pharisees as
well as to His disciples. Here He is pulling no punches.


 The Pharisees walked into this appropriate rebuke. It was so clear and
frontal, that it bothered His disciples. But He responded both to them and
to the crowd so plainly - that there could be *no* misunderstanding.


 The Pharisees deserved this rebuke. But they were so blind and set in
their ways, that they did not want anyone pointing out their hypocrisy. The
“tradition of men” meant far more to them than the “Word of God.” They
replaced God with man.


 It is important to see that the Orthodox Jews of today by and large -
still 2000 years later - have the *same* spirit of the Pharisees of Jesus'
day. They follow the “Talmud” and its human traditions *above* the Torah,
the 5 books of Moses, plus the rest of the OT. They *also* fail to
understand Hebrews 8:6, which puts the NT on the same level of Torah, as
the OT. And they still reject Isaiah 53 as pointing to a suffering Messiah,
because it conflicts with *their* theology of a *reigning* Messiah. Jesus
indeed will come the second time as a reigning Messiah; but for the sake of
Redemption, it was necessary to come first and fulfill the types and
shadows of Leviticus in the 5 sacrifices outlined at its beginning.


 But in Zechariah we learn that upon Christ's return - when Israel sees the
wounds He received at His first coming in the house of His friends - they
will *deeply* mourn - and *then* a remnant nation will be born in a day.
