Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 7
Verse 1. Coming from Jerusalem - Probably on purpose to find occasion
against him. Matt. xv, 1.
Verse
4. Washing of cups and pots and brazen vessels and couches - The
Greek word (baptisms) means indifferently either washing or
sprinkling. The cups, pots, and vessels were washed; the couches
sprinkled.
Verse
5. The tradition of the elders - The rule delivered down from your
forefathers.
Verse
6. Isaiah xxix, 13.
Verse
10. Exod. xx, 12; Exod. xxi, 17.
Verse
15. There is nothing entering into a man from without which can
defile him - Though it is very true, a man may bring guilt, which
is moral defilement, upon himself by eating what hurts his health,
or by excess either in meat or drink yet even here the pollution
arises from the wickedness of the heart, and is just proportionable
to it. And this is all that our Lord asserts.
Verse
19. Purging all meats - Probably the seat was usually placed over
running water.
Verse
22. Wickedness - The word means ill natured, cruelty,
inhumanity, and all malevolent affections. Foolishness - Directly
contrary to sobriety of thought and discourse: all kind of wild
imaginations and extravagant passions.
Verse
24. Matt. xv, 21.
Verse
26. The woman was a Greek (that is, a Gentile, not a Jew) a
Syrophenician or Canaanite. Canaan was also called
Syrophenicia, as lying between Syria, properly so called, and
Phenicia.
Verse
31. Matt. xv, 29.
Verse
33. He put his fingers into his ears - Perhaps intending to teach us,
that we are not to prescribe to him (as they who brought this man
attempted to do) but to expect his blessing by whatsoever means
he pleases: even though there should be no proportion or
resemblance between the means used, and the benefit to be
conveyed thereby.
Verse
34. Ephphatha - This was a word of SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY,
not an address to God for power to heal: such an address was
needless; for Christ had a perpetual fund of power residing in
himself, to work all miracles whenever he pleased, even to the
raising the dead, John v, 21, 26.
Verse
36. Them - The blind man and those that brought him.
