Matthew 15:10 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

He called the multitude, and said unto them. — The act was more startling and suggestive than appears on the surface. He did not appeal to the authority of great names or of a higher tribunal. He removed the case, as it were, to another court, which His opponents did not recognise, and turned from the disputes and traditions of the schools to the unperverted conscience of the common people.
