Matthew 15:16 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:16

And Jesus said
As wondering at, and as being displeased with, and as reproving them for their dulness and ignorance:

are ye also yet without understanding?
you, my disciples, as well as the Scribes and Pharisees; you, who have been with me so long, who have heard so many discourses from me, who for so long a time have been instructed by me, both in private, and in public; and yet do not understand what is so plain and easy, that has nothing of difficulty in it, but what might easily be accounted for.

Matthew 15:16 In-Context

14 Suffer ye them; they be blind, and leaders of blind men. And if a blind man lead a blind man, both fall into the ditch [both fall down into the ditch].

15 Peter answered, and said to him, Expound to us this parable.

16 And he said, Yet be ye also without understanding/Yet ye be without understanding? [And he said, Yet also ye be without understanding?]

17 Understand ye not, that all thing that entereth into the mouth, goeth into the womb, and is sent out into the going away?

18 But those things that come forth from the mouth, go out from the heart [go out of the heart], and those things defoul the man.
