What Came Before:
We recognize Jesus as God's Son who acts not only as the
prophets of old but as the Lord of creation Himself. The disciples acclaim him
as God's Son, and the masses approach him for healing. The nitpicking response
of the Pharisees and scribes, a sort of religious and academic elite, stands in
all the starker contrast to reality. They were no denser than some academicians
today who likewise seem able to obscure the forest of God's saving message with
far less relevant trees.

"These people draw near to Me with their
mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me."
Matthew 15:8

Pharisees and religion scholars came to Jesus all the way from
Jerusalem, criticizing, "Why do your disciples play fast and loose
with the rules?" But Jesus put it right back on them. "Why do
you use your rules to play fast and loose with God's commands? God
clearly says, 'Respect your father and mother,' and, 'Anyone
denouncing father or mother should be killed.' But you weasel around
that by saying, 'Whoever wants to, can say to father and mother,
What I owed to you I've given to God.' That can hardly be called
respecting a parent. You cancel God's command by your rules. You
hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said:
"These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
He then called the crowd together and said, "Listen, and take this to heart. It's not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up."
Later his disciples came and told him, "Did you know how upset the Pharisees were when they heard what you said?" Jesus shrugged it off. "Every tree that wasn't planted by my Father in heaven will be pulled up by its roots. Forget them. They are blind men leading blind men. When a blind man leads a blind man, they both end up in the ditch."
Peter said, "I don't get it. Put it in plain language."
Jesus replied, "You, too? Are you being willfully stupid? Don't you
know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the
intestines and is finally defecated? But what comes out of the mouth
gets its start in the heart. It's from the heart that we vomit up
evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and
cussing. That's what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods,
washing or not washing your hands—that's not what is important."
