Mark 7:18-20

Do you not perceive that everything outside proceeding into the person is not able to defile[a] him 19 because it does not proceed into his heart, but into his stomach, and it proceeds out into the latrine?” (He was making all foods clean[b].) 20 And He was saying that “The thing proceeding out of the person— that defiles the person.

- Mark 7:19 making... clean. Or, declaring... clean, treating... clean. These words may be Mark’s comment, as in 3:30; 7:3-4. If these are still the words of Jesus, punctuate this ‘latrine, cleansing all foods’ (the latrine proves they are clean because they pass through the body without affecting the heart); or, ‘latrine, purging all foods’ (simply completing the physical description).
