Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

7:7 {3} Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
(3) The more earnest the superstitious are, the more mad they are in promising themselves God's favour because of their deeds.

MHC:

7:1-13 One great design of Christ's coming was, to set aside the ceremonial law; and to make way for this, he rejects the ceremonies men added to the law of God's making. Those clean hands and that pure heart which Christ bestows on his disciples, and requires of them, are very different from the outward and superstitious forms of Pharisees of every age. Jesus reproves them for rejecting the commandment of God. It is clear that it is the duty of children, if their parents are poor, to relieve them as far as they are able; and if children deserve to die that curse their parents, much more those that starve them. But if a man conformed to the traditions of the Pharisees, they found a device to free him from the claim of this duty.
