Matthew 15-16

Chapter 15: Pharisees criticized the Lord's disciples for not washing their hands before eating. However, Lord Jesus called them blind leaders for worshiping themselves more than God because what comes out of the mouth defiles a man.Therefore, Lord Jesus praised the great faith of the Canaanit woman and healed her daughter. God wanted us to honor Him not by mouth but by heart.

Chapter 16: Pharisees wanted Lord Jesus to show them a sign from heaven, but He called them wicked generations asking for a sign although having many prophecies. Therefore, He warned His disciples not to follow their false teaching and to remember the miracle of five loaves that confirming He is God incarnate. Faith is the first step to entering the kingdom of heaven.
