Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, states that, "Matthew 15:1-20. (is about) The True Religion and the False religion of the world. A Discourse to the Pharisees, the People, and the Disciples." We must learn and know what was the meaning of Religion and the difference between Pure Religion and Public religion, the difference between legal charity and fervent charity, and of course the difference between the Corban of the Pharisees and the Corban of Christ. The difference was in the spots. [2]
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.[4]
V1-9. Much evil is from ignorance, and a messenger had to be sent to them to prepare you to receive the Lord.[4]
V1-6 Shows the world of Judaism had degenerated by the process generated by the institution of legal charity established by Herod and the Pharisees.
What were and are those tradition[5] mentioned in V2, V3 and V6 but also translated "ordinance"? And why is it defined "giving up, giving over"?[4]
V5 Matthew does not use the term Corban but he does use the corresponding Greek term for "a gift" which is doron[6]. Mark 7:11 says doron is the same as Corban. Doron "refers to a present yet not always "gratuitous" or "wholly unsuggestive of recompence;" or "money cast into the treasury for the purposes of the temple and for the support of the poor" as we see in Luke 21[7]
V6 Barnes' Notes on the Bible states "It is a gift - In Mark it is 'corban.' The word 'corban' is a Hebrew word denoting a gift." It may denote a gift but it means sacrifice in Hebrew[8] and in the Greek text we can see them translated treasury and Corban.[9]
The Pharisees challenged Jesus and Jesus challenged them in Matthew 15 and that challenge still applies to the modern Christian. In Mark 7 He names the problem of the Corban of the Pharisees that was making the word of God to none effect.
The English word tradition is defined today as "the transmission of a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on from one generation to another." or in Theology "a doctrine believed to have divine authority though not in the scriptures." The Greek 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".)[10] is also translated "ordinances". During the early days of Herod's reign as king the Pharisees moved their system of sacrifice in the temple to a different form of giving.
How do their ordinances transgress the commandments of God? Jesus mentions the one we see in Exodus 20:12 where the word honor"[11] is from the Hebrew word meaning to give a value from a word to fatten.
What we are seeing is the same challenge made in Mark 7:11 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[6] at the temple. The same word gift is in John 9, Mark 7, and Matthew 15.
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 the temples of Rome provided by men like Herod and the Pharisees that forced the contributions of the people. It would be those "commandments of men"[12] 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 of 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.
Remember V11, What cometh out ... defileth?[13] Is a repeated theme like V17-V19 but also V8 with their mouth, and ... lips; but their heart[14] is far... away from the God of heaven.


Traditions and Commandments

[1] Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,

[2] Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition[5][4] of the elders?[15] for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

[3] But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment[3] of God by your tradition[5]?

[4] For God commanded[12], saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

[5] But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift[16], by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

[6] And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect[17] by your tradition.[5]

[7] Ye hypocrites[18], well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

[8] This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth[19], and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart[14] is far from me.

[9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments[12] of men.[19]

What Defiles a Person

[10] And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth[20], this defileth[13] a man.

[12] Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

[13] But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

[14] Let them alone: they be blind leaders[21] of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind[21], both shall fall into the ditch.

Do you not understand

[15] Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

[16] And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

[17] Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

[18] But those things which proceed out of the mouth[22][23] come forth from the heart[14]; and they defile[13] the man.

[19] For out of the heart[14] proceed evil[24] thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

[20] These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth[13] not a man.

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

[21] Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

[22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.[25]

[23] But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

[24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

[25] Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

[26] But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

[27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.

[28] Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Jesus Heals Many

[29] And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

[30] And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down[26] at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

[31] Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

[32] Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

[33] And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

[34] And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

[35] And he commanded[27] the multitude to sit down on the ground.

[36] And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

[37] And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

[38] And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

[39] And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala[28]

  1. The way of error
    2 Peter 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
    Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots(not "unspotted" like Pure Religion) in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
    Revelation 2:14-17 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication ("to permit one’s self to be drawn away by another into idolatry"). 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]."
    Ezekiel 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
  2. Spotted and unspotted
    1 Timothy 6:14 "That thou keep [this] commandment without spot <aspilos>, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
    James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted <aspilos> from the world.
    1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish <amomos> and without spot <aspilos>:"
    2 Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot <aspilos>, and blameless <amometos>. 15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation..."
    Hebrews 9:14 "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot <amomos> to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
    2 Peter 2:13 "And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots <spilos> [they are] and blemishes<momos>, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
    Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage... 21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted <spiloo> by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless <amomos> before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"
