As the Pharisees and scribes gather to Jesus in Mark 7:1-23, Jesus answers their questions about external regulations, not in a simple straight forward way, but by answering the deeper question of what is going on in heir heart. In this passage, Jesus exposes the danger of traditions and the defilement of the heart, and shows that true guilt and defilement can only be dealt with in the heart, by the blood of Jesus.
