~Mark 7.18b-19 “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
One more thought before I leave this passage. The really big news here to the followers of Jesus must have been the idea that they no longer had to worry about whether a food was defined as "clean" or "unclean" according to Jewish law. This was radical. Now Jesus has okay'd ham sandwiches.
