10. And he called the multitude, and said unto them--The foregoing
dialogue, though in the people's hearing, was between Jesus and the
pharisaic cavillers, whose object was to disparage Him with the people.
But Jesus, having put them down, turns to the multitude, who at this
time were prepared to drink in everything He said, and with admirable
plainness, strength, and brevity, lays down the great principle of real
pollution, by which a world of bondage and uneasiness of conscience
would be dissipated in a moment, and the sense of sin be reserved for
deviations from the holy and eternal law of God.
