Matthew 15:8
_ _ This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, etc. — By putting the commandments of men on a level with the divine requirements, their whole worship was rendered vain — a principle of deep moment in the service of God. “For,” it is added in Mark 7:8, “laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.” The driveling nature of their multitudinous observances is here pointedly exposed, in contrast with the manly observance of “the commandment of God”; and when our Lord says, “Many other such like things ye do,” it is implied that He had but given a specimen of the hideous treatment which the divine law received, and the grasping disposition which, under the mask of piety, was manifested by the ecclesiastics of that day. |
Matthew 15:8
Their heart is far from me — And without this all outward worship is mere mockery of God. Isaiah 29:13. |

Ezekiel 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness.
John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
