For it does not enter his heart The "heart" in biblical terms often represents the center of human will, emotions, and spiritual life. In Greek, the word used is "καρδία" (kardia), which is not just the physical organ but the seat of moral and spiritual life. Jesus emphasizes that external things, like food, do not defile a person spiritually because they do not penetrate the heart, the core of one's being. This highlights the distinction between physical and spiritual purity, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture, emphasizing that true defilement comes from within, from the intentions and thoughts of the heart. but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) Purging all meats.--This also is peculiar to St. Mark, and presents some difficulties. In the commonly received text, the participle is in the neuter nominative, agreeing with the nominative to the verb "goeth out." But in this construction it is difficult to see in what sense that which goeth into the mouth--itself an article of food, with no special character--can be said to purge or cleanse all other forms of food. The better MSS., however, give the participle in the masculine. This has been explained by many as a grammatical anomaly, and the participle being treated as if it agreed (though in a different case) with the word "draught" or "cesspool," the latter is said to cleanse all meats, as removing the excreta, or impure parts, from them, and leaving only that which nourishes the body. A far better construction, both as to grammar and meaning, is found by making the word "purging," or better, cleansing, agree with the subject of the verb "He saith," in Mark 7:18--"He saith this . . . and in so saying, cleanseth all meats." So taken, the words anticipate, in almost the same terms, the truth of Acts 10:15, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." The construction is tenable grammatically, has the support of high authority both ancient and modern, and obviously gives a much better sense. It is a possible conjecture that the words "cleansing all meats" may have been, at first, a marginal note (like the addition in Mark 7:16), attached to "He saith," and have afterwards found their way into the text. . . .
