Mark 7:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ Then he went into a house to get away from the crowds, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the statement he had just made.

¹⁸ “Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that what you eat won’t harm your soul? ¹⁹ For food doesn’t come in contact with your heart, but only passes through the digestive system.” (By saying this he showed that every kind of food is kosher.)
