Context of Matthew 15:10

8This people honour me with the lips, but their heart is far away from me; 9but in vain do they worship me, teaching [as] teachings commandments of men. And having called to [him] the crowd, he said to them, Hear and understand: 11Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man. 12Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended?

But Jesus, having put them down, turns to the multitude, who at this time were prepared to drink in everything He said, and with admirable plainness, strength, and brevity, lays down the great principle of real pollution, by which a world of bondage…Read the comment
