The Jews laid great stress on these washings , or baptisms , גבנפיףלןץע [Strong's G909] , considering eating with unwashen hands no ordinary crime , and feigning that an evil spirit , called Shibta , has a right to sit on the food of him who thus eats , and render it hurtful.

There . Though it is very true , says Dr. Doddridge , that a man may bring guilt upon himself by eating to excess , and a Jew , by eating what was forbidden by the Mosaic law; yet still the pollution would arise from the wickedness of the heart , and be just proportionable to it , which is all our Lord asserts.

put . This was clearly a symbolical action; for these remedies evidently could not , by their natural efficacy , avail to produce so wonderful an effect. As the ears of the deaf appear closed , he applies his fingers to intimate that he would open them; and as the tongue of the dumb seems to be tied , or to cleave to the palate , he touches it , to intimate he would give loose and free motion to it. He accommodated himself to the weakness of those who might not indeed doubt his power , but fancy some external sign was requisite to healing. It was also thus made manifest , that this salutiferous power came from Himself , and that He who by one word , וצצבטב [Strong's G2188] , had healed the man , must be Divine.
