Context of Matthew 15:10

8This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 9They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands.” Summoning the crowd, he told them, “Listen and understand: 11It’s not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth — this defiles a person.” 12Then the disciples came up and told him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?”

Nothing will last in the soul but the regenerating graces of the Holy Spirit; and nothing should be admitted into the church but what is from above; therefore, whoever is offended by a plain, seasonable declaration of the truth, we should not be troubled at…Read the comment

And he called the multitude, and said unto them--The foregoing dialogue, though in the people's hearing, was between Jesus and the pharisaic cavillers, whose object was to disparage Him with the people.
