Mark 7:17 - 7:37
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In Mark 7:17-7:37, Jesus teaches that moral purity stems from the heart and not from external actions or cleanliness. He declares that all foods are clean, eliminating the distinctions between clean and unclean foods observed by Jews, and stresses the importance of faith in receiving God's blessings. In the story of the Syrophoenician woman, Jesus tests her faith and ultimately grants her request for healing, demonstrating that Gentiles can also receive God's blessings through faith. Jesus also performs a miracle in the region of Decapolis, healing a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, further establishing his ability to heal the sick and perform miracles.
