Commentary on Mark 7:14

Theological / Devotional

All. Gr. panta. However, textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) the reading palin, “again.” This reading would imply that Jesus had been addressing the multitude when the scribes and Pharisees interrupted with their protest (see v. 2). Now that Jesus had silenced His critics He again addressed Himself to the people, with the purpose of making clear the true nature of the problem involved in the conflict over tradition (see on v. 3).

Hearken. The people must give diligent attention if they would see through the hypocrisy of their spiritual leaders.
