Context of Mark 7:13

11But you teach that a person may say to his father or to his mother, “I would have given gifts to help you. But I cannot do that, because I have given them to God instead.” 12If he says that, you let him do nothing to help his father or his mother. This shows that you have not obeyed what God says is right. Instead, you have obeyed the ideas that you received from your leaders many years ago. And you do many other things like that.’ 14Jesus asked the crowd of people to come to him again. He said to them, ‘Listen to me, all of you, so that you can understand these things. 15People do not become unclean because of things that go into their bodies from outside. They become unclean because of the things that come out from their minds.
