Matthew 15:15
It is important to understand what is being asked here. The disciples were still confused about the whole defilement issue. They were asking what Jesus meant in verse 11 about things going into and coming out of a person. The sad thing here is that it wasn’t really a parable. Jesus had fairly plainly stated the fact of the matter. However, because the disciples were still so stuck in the traditional Jewish thinking concerning defilement, they just could not understand how things from outside of a person would not defile a person.
