Context of Mark 7:14

12And ye no longer suffer him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13making void the word of God by your traditional teaching which ye have delivered; and many such like things ye do. And having called again the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all [of you], and understand: 15There is nothing from outside a man entering into him which can defile him; but the things which go out from him, those it is which defile the man. 16If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
