SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:1
¶ Y se juntaron a l fariseos, y algunos de los escribas, que habían venido de Jerusaln;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 7:1
Verse 1. Came from Jerusalem.] Probably for the express purpose of disputing with Christ, that they might entangle him in his talk. Malice and envy are never idle-they incessantly hunt the person they intend to make their prey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Then came together unto him the Pharisees , etc..] Having heard of his miracles, and that he was come into the land of Gennesaret; they consulted with one another, and came together to Jesus, to watch and observe what was said and done by him, and take what advantage they could against him. These were not of that country, but were of Jerusalem, as were their companions the Scribes: and certain of the Scribes, which were of Jerusalem ; for the fame of Christ had reached the metropolis of the nation; and these men being the more artful and cunning of the whole sect, either came of themselves, or were sent by the sanhedrim, to make their observations upon his doctrine and conduct; (see Gill on Matthew 15:1).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - One great design of Christ's coming was, to set aside the ceremonia law; and to make way for this, he rejects the ceremonies men added to the law of God's making. Those clean hands and that pure heart whic Christ bestows on his disciples, and requires of them, are very different from the outward and superstitious forms of Pharisees of every age. Jesus reproves them for rejecting the commandment of God. It is clear that it is the duty of children, if their parents are poor, to relieve them as far as they are able; and if children deserve to di that curse their parents, much more those that starve them. But if man conformed to the traditions of the Pharisees, they found a devic to free him from the claim of this duty.
