Mark 7:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:20

And he said
Continued to say in his discourse; though this is left but in the Syriac version;

that which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man;
meaning, not his excrements, which were unclean by the law, ( Deuteronomy 23:13 ) but what comes out of his heart, by his mouth; or is expressed in action, as appears by what follows; (See Gill on Matthew 15:18).

Mark 7:20 In-Context

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

20 dicebat autem quoniam quae de homine exeunt illa communicant hominem

21 ab intus enim de corde hominum cogitationes malae procedunt adulteria fornicationes homicidia

22 furta avaritiae nequitiae dolus inpudicitia oculus malus blasphemia superbia stultitia
