Mark 7:17

17 et cum introisset in domum a turba interrogabant eum discipuli eius parabolam

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 nihil est extra hominem introiens in eum quod possit eum coinquinare sed quae de homine procedunt illa sunt quae communicant hominem

16 si quis habet aures audiendi audiat

17 et cum introisset in domum a turba interrogabant eum discipuli eius parabolam

18 et ait illis sic et vos inprudentes estis non intellegitis quia omne extrinsecus introiens in hominem non potest eum communicare

19 quia non introit in cor eius sed in ventrem et in secessum exit purgans omnes escas
