SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:20
Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; que comer con las manos sin lavar no contamina al hombre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:20
Verse 20. These-defile a man] Our Lord's argument is very plain. What goes into the mouth descends into the stomach and other intestines;-part is retained for the nourishment of the body, and part is ejected, as being improper to afford nourishment. Nothing of this kind defiles the soul, because it does not enter into it; but the evil principles that are in it, producing evil thoughts, murders, &c., these defile the soul, because they have their seat and operation in it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. These are the things which defile a man , etc.] These are filthy in themselves, and must pollute all in whom they are; they bring a defilement on the whole man, both body and soul, fasten guilt upon him, and expose him to everlasting punishment: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man : should a man neglect to wash his bands before eating a common meal, this need give him no uneasiness; he contracts no filth to his soul hereby, nor any guilt to his conscience; nor does he break any law of God; nor is he liable to any penalty for such an omission. This is a trifling matter, and merits no regard; but the things before mentioned are in their nature evil: they are contrary to the law of God; they are abominable in his sight; they render men loathsome and odious to the divine being; and expose them to shame and ruin; and it is only the blood of Christ can cleanse them from the pollution and guilt of them, and secure them from that punishment they deserve.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-20 - Christ shows that the defilement they ought to fear, was not from what entered their mouths as food, but from what came out of their mouths which showed the wickedness of their hearts. Nothing will last in the soul but the regenerating graces of the Holy Spirit; and nothing shoul be admitted into the church but what is from above; therefore, whoeve is offended by a plain, seasonable declaration of the truth, we shoul not be troubled at it. The disciples ask to be better taught as to thi matter. Where a weak head doubts concerning any word of Christ, a upright heart and a willing mind seek for instruction. It is the hear that is desperately wicked, Jer 17:9, for there is no sin in word of deed, which was not first in the heart. They all come out of the man and are fruits of that wickedness which is in the heart, and is wrough there. When Christ teaches, he will show men the deceitfulness an wickedness of their own hearts; he will teach them to humbl themselves, and to seek to be cleansed in the Fountain opened for sin and uncleanness.
