Now in Mark's version of this story, right around here,
-
Mark adds a little sentence.
-
Remember when I talked about Mark,

Here Mark gives a little parenthetical comment he says,
-
"By saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean."
-
In other words, Mark does a good little
-
Gentile Christianity move.
-
He takes this saying of Jesus and he says,
-
Jesus was declaring all foods clean
-
so we don't have to keep kosher.
