Wesley's Notes for Mark 7:21


7:19 Purging all meats - Probably the seat was usually placed over running water.

7:22 Wickedness - The word means ill natured, cruelty, inhumanity, and all malevolent affections. Foolishness - Directly contrary to sobriety of thought and discourse: all kind of wild imaginations and extravagant passions.
