Mark 7:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 7:19

17 ^aWhen He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

18 So He said to them, ^a“Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated,¹ thus purifying all foods?”

20 And He said, ^a“What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

21 ^aFor from within, out of the heart of men, ^bproceed evil thoughts, ^cadulteries, ^dfornications, murders,

22 thefts, ^acovetousness, wickedness, ^bdeceit, ^clewdness, an evil eye, ^dblasphemy, ^epride, foolishness.
