Did Jesus Actually Make All Food Clean
I should not be too quick to throw out large portions of the Torah because of a four-word parenthetical comment past Marker at the end of a long halachic word.
Now when the Pharisees gathered together to him, with some of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands defiled, that is, unwashed…. And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not alive according to the tradition of the elders, but consume with easily defiled?"…. And he chosen the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and empathize: there is nothing outside a man which past going into him tin defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him…. Practise you not see that whatever goes into a human being from outside cannot defile him, since information technology enters, non his centre but his stomach, and and so passes on?" (Thus he alleged all foods clean.) (Mark vii:1-5, 14-nineteen; RSV)
The final iv words of Mark 7:19, καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα (katharidzon panta ta bromata, cleansing all the foods"), have acquired many Christians to suppose that Jesus did abroad with the biblical nutrient prohibitions and declared "clean" (טָהוֹר, tahor) what the Torah declares "unclean" (טָמֵא, tame). The fashion English versions of the Bible have translated this verse has strengthened the misunderstanding: "Thus he declared all foods clean" (RSV, NRSV and NAB); "In proverb this, Jesus declared all foods 'make clean'" (NIV); "By proverb this, he showed that every kind of food is acceptable" (NLT); "Thus he pronounced all foods make clean" (NJB); "Thus He was making and declaring all foods [ceremonially] clean [that is, abolishing the ceremonial distinctions of the Levitical Constabulary]" (AMP).
In the Torah "clean" and "unclean" are also used of permitted and forbidden food, and therefore, because of this passage, Christians usually have believed that the biblical food laws were abrogated by Jesus. However, one should non be too quick to throw out large portions of the Torah, in this case, portions of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, because of a four-discussion parenthetical comment[i] by Mark at the stop of a long halachic word. Such a serious reversal of God'southward commands and contradiction of God's discussion would need explanation and discussion.
The Torah prohibits Jews from eating certain animals (Lev. 11; cf. Deut. xiv; Negative Commandments #172-179). We can assume that Jesus would not accept violated these commandments. (Otherwise, he would have been condemned by the words of Torah, and would have been a sinner.) Nor would he have taught others to violate the commandments since he himself taught, "Anyone who breaks them [the commandments of Torah] or teaches others to suspension them will exist called 'light' [קַל, kal, that is, of no esteem]" (Matt 5:19). In other words, such a disciple could non become or remain part of the "Kingdom of Heaven," a term that Jesus sometimes used to refer to his band of full-time disciples.[2]
