V1-2 Certain scribes complained about His disciples eating bread with defiled[1] unwashed[2] hands.
The Pharisees challenged Jesus and Jesus challenged them "Why do ye also transgress the commandment"[3] and that challenge still applies to the modern Christian.
The English word tradition means what is a customary practice. Their term in the text is paradosis meaning "the act of giving up" and "the surrender of cities". In Greek it meant "delivery (of goods, parcels, etc" or from a military view "surrender".)[4] is also translated "ordinances".
How do their ordinances transgress the commandments of God?
V6 Jesus calls them hypocrites, because they value (honoureth)[5] with their lips, but not with their heart. The use of the Greek term maten as vain[6] suggests a lack of fruit. The word worship[7] sebomia rather than latreuo, to serve, or the common word for worship proskuneo, homage.
V7 They teach "didasko"[8] for doctrines "didaskalia"[9] which are actually "precepts"[10] of men. He is saying their traditions and doctrines are not of God but of men.
What we are seeing is the same challenge made in Mark 7:11 also in Matthew 15 concerning the sacrifice/corban given to the temple where sons think they do not need to take care of their parents because they gave a gift/offering[11] at the temple. The same word gift is in John 9, Mark 7, and Matthew 15.
In Exodus 20:12 the word honor"[12] is from the Hebrew word meaning to give a value from a word to fatten.
V10 "Whoso curseth[13] father or mother, let him die the death:" In the Greek kakologeo can mean to curse as in say something evil but also can mean abuse even by neglect. Which in Verse 12 we see that whatever this Corban of the Pharisees and Herod is it is not only different than the Corban of Moses but it causing the sons to do "no more to do ought for his father or his mother" which is slighting them which would be an abuse.
V12 And with the statement "And ye suffer him" is saying that the pharisees evidently are allowing sons to do that which would be contrary to Exodus 21:17 we can see "curse his father, or his mother" in that text where the word curse[14] only means to even slight or because of an extra Mem, continuously slight their parents or "be of little account" in the care of their parents which is a violation of what Moses taught.
At that time in Judea children were permitted by the Pharisees to neglect their parents because the system of welfare provided by them through the temple build by Herod was to provide the daily administration through the collection of taxes. The Roman Empire and many other city-states provided free bread and aid for the needy through forms of legal charity.
The Corban instituted by Herod and the Pharisees was no different. It required you pay into the temples' treasury once you were registered. Any benefit provided through such a system was now the dainties of rulers provided at the tables of those benefactors who exercise authority one over the other was forbidden by Christ and were a snare according to Paul and David because they were the covetous practices which make you merchandise and curse children according to Peter.
We see the fear of the blind man's parents when they might be kicked out of that social security system of the temple in John 9. The free bread of Rome also came from their temples and provided benefits to the people[15] by men like Herod and the Pharisees that forced the contributions of the people. It would be those "commandments of men"[10] that would be done away with by nailing it to the cross.
The people of Judea and most of the world were back in the bondage of Egypt. When the people received the baptism pf Jesus they were cast out of the Corban system of the Pharisees they were free to create a daily ministration and pursuit the Corban of Christ.


Traditions and Commandments

1 ¶ Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled[1] , that is to say, with unwashen[2], hands, they found fault.

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition[4] of the elders.

4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.[16]

5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition[4] of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen[2] hands?

Hypocrites

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias[17] prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth[5] me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain[6] do they worship[7] me, teaching[8] for doctrines[9] the commandments[10] of men.

Rejectd commands of God

8 For laying aside the commandment[3] of God, ye hold the tradition[4] of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment[3] of God, that ye may keep your own tradition[4] .[18]

Honour the family

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

What Defiles a Person

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift[11], by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by[19] me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect[20] through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Hearken unto me

14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:[21]

15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

Do ye not perceive

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats[22]?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

Out of the heart

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness[18], wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

24 ¶ And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.[23]

27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

Jesus Heals a Deaf Man

31 ¶ And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit[24], and touched his tongue;

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed[25], and saith unto him, Ephphatha[26], that is, Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
