SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:18

Y les dijo: ¿Tambi�n vosotros est�is así sin entendimiento? ¿No entend�is que todo lo de fuera que entra en el hombre, no le puede contaminar?

---

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 18. And he saith unto them , etc..] With some warmth of spirit and resentment, at their stupidity: are ye so without understanding also ? As well as others, and to such a degree; and �yet�, as Matthew expresses it, ( Matthew 15:16), so wretchedly stupid, and so long, and as much, as others: do ye not perceive ? common sense will tell you, that whatsoever thing from, without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him ; (see Gill on � Matthew 15:16�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-23 - Our wicked thoughts and affections, words and actions, defile us, an these only. As a corrupt fountain sends forth corrupt streams, so doe a corrupt heart send forth corrupt reasonings, corrupt appetites an passions, and all the wicked words and actions that come from them. spiritual understanding of the law of God, and a sense of the evil of sin, will cause a man to seek for the grace of the Holy Spirit, to kee down the evil thoughts and affections that work within.

18. So. So unintelligent as not to understand what I uttered to the crowd.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

7:18 {Are ye so without understanding also?} (houtws kai humeis asunetoi este;). See on �Mt 15:16. You also as well as the multitude. It was a discouraging moment for the great Teacher if his own chosen pupils (disciples) were still under the spell of the Pharisaic theological outlook. It was a riddle to them. "They had been trained in Judaism, in which the distinction between clean and unclean is ingrained, and could not understand a statement abrogating this " (Gould). They had noticed that the Pharisees stumbled at the parable of Jesus (#Mt 15:12). They were stumbling themselves and did not know how to answer the Pharisees. Jesus charges the disciples with intellectual dulness and spiritual stupidity.
