Context of Mark 7:14

12If he says that, you let him do nothing to help his father or his mother. 13This 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.’ Jesus 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. 16[You have heard my words. So do what I say.’]
