These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands defiles not a man.
All Commentaries on Matthew 15:20 Go To Matthew 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
But Mark says, that cleansing the meats, He spoke this. He did not however express it, nor at all say, but to eat such and such meats defiles not the man, for neither could they endure to be told it by Him thus distinctly. And accordingly His conclusion was, But to eat with unwashen hands defiles not the man. Matthew 15:20
