Subject: can I eat shellfish? |
Bible Note: MJH: You write: 'The NIV adds the words, "In saying this, Jesus declared all food clean." This is not in the text.' How right you are! The rest of us, let us notice how the last phrase is worded in the following literal translations. Mark 7:19 KJV Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? The New King James Version "because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" Young's Literal Translation because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.' J.P. Green's Literal Translation This is because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the waste-bowl, purging all the foods. Grace to you, Kalos |
