Mark 7:17 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:17

And when he was entered into the house
Very probably at Capernaum, and it may be the house of Simon and Andrew, where he used to be when there:

from the people;
being separated from them, having dismissed and left them, when he and his disciples were by themselves alone:

his disciples asked him concerning the parable;
that saying of his to the people, which was somewhat dark and intricate to them; that nothing without a man going into him defiled him, but what comes out of him: this was asked by Peter, in the name of the rest; (See Gill on Matthew 15:15).

Mark 7:17 In-Context

15 There is no thinge with out a man that can defyle him when it entreth into him: but thoo thinges which procede out of him are those which defyle ye man.

16 If eny man have eares to heare let him heare

17 And whe he came to house awaye fro the people his disciples axed him of the similitude.

18 And he sayd vnto the: Are ye so without vnderstondinge? Do ye not yet perceave yt whatsoever thinge from wt out entreth into a man it can not defyle him

19 because it entrith not in to his hert but into ye belly: and goeth out into the draught that porgeth oute all meates.
