Matthew 15:1-9
We have in these verses a conversation between our Lord Jesus Christ and certain scribes and Pharisees. The subject of it may seem, at first sight, of little interest in modern days; but it is not so in reality. The principles of the Pharisees are principles that never die. There are truths laid down here which are of deep importance.
We learn for one thing, that hypocrites generally attach great importance to mere outward things in religion.
