Mark 7:14-19

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.

16[You have heard my words. So do what I say.’]

17Jesus left the crowd of people and he went into a house. Then his disciples asked him to explain what he had taught.

18Jesus said, ‘I am surprised that you too do not understand what I am saying. You should understand that food will not make people unclean. Food goes into people's bodies from outside.

19But food does not go into people's minds. It goes into their stomachs and then it passes out of their bodies.’ When Jesus said this, he was teaching that all foods are clean.
