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, (<401516>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 “<401516>Matthew 15:16”).
