Remigius of Auxerre, on Matt 15:7

“Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:”

“For the Jewish nation seemed to draw near to God with their lips and mouth, inasmuch as they boasted that they held the worship of the One God; but in their hearts they departed from Him, because after they had seen His signs and miracles, they would neither acknowledge His divinity, nor receive Him.”
