Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 15:11

_ _ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man — This is expressed even more emphatically in Mark (Mark 7:15, Mark 7:16), and it is there added, “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” As in Matthew 13:9, this so oft-repeated saying seems designed to call attention to the fundamental and universal character of the truth it refers to.
