📖🕯 Holy Bible - Matthew 15 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Jesus discourses about human traditions, He warns against things which really defile, He heals the daughter of a Syrophenician woman, Jesus heals the sick, and miraculously feeds four thousand.

🕯 How does this apply today?: [When we put doctrine, tradition, or any man made rule above God's Word.] "This was making the command of God of no effect. The doom of hypocrites is put in a little compass; "In vain do they worship me." It will neither please God, nor profit themselves; they trust in vanity, and vanity will be their recompense." ~ Matthew Henry

"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." ~ Colossians 2:8 (NIV)
📖 About the book: Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.
