Study Notes

Pharisees and Teachers of the Law

Pharisees and teachers from Jerusalem questioned Jesus about his disciples breaking the tradition of handwashing before eating (Matthew 15:1-2).
They were concerned about adherence to oral traditions rather than the intentions behind the actions.

Jesus' Response

Jesus emphasized the importance of honoring one's parents, as stated in the Law (Matthew 15:4).
He highlighted that what comes from the heart, not external actions, defines a person (Matthew 15:18).
Jesus also asserted that eating with unwashed hands does not make a man "unclean" (Matthew 15:20).

Healing Miracles

Great crowds brought the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and others to Jesus, and he healed them (Matthew 15:30).
The people's amazement followed these miracles when they witnessed the mute speaking, crippled being made well, lame walking, and blind seeing (Matthew 15:31).

Teaching and Faith

Jesus stated he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, focusing his mission initially on the Jewish people (Matthew 15:24).
He emphasized that evil thoughts and sinful actions originate from the heart (Matthew 15:19).

Compassion and Provision

Jesus expressed compassion for the crowd that had been with him for three days, feeling concern for their hunger (Matthew 15:32).
His disciples questioned how they could feed such a large crowd in a remote location (Matthew 15:33).

After the people ate and were satisfied, the disciples collected seven basketfuls of leftover pieces (Matthew 15:37).

Interaction with Disciples

Jesus' disciples informed him that the Pharisees were offended by his teachings (Matthew 15:12).
A Canaanite woman demonstrated great faith, which impressed Jesus (Matthew 15:28).
