19. οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται κ.τ.λ. This important explanation is also omitted in Mt.

[1539] reads ὀχετός here, but ἀφεδρών in Mt.

καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα. See crit. note. The happy restoration of the true reading makes excellent and important sense of a passage which was reduced almost to nonsense by the false reading. No intelligible meaning can be given to καθαρίζον, “purging all meats” (A.V.). “This He said, making all meats clean” (R.V.) is the comment of the Evangelist, who saw that Christ’s words abolished the distinction between clean and unclean food, even when made by the Law. We have similar remarks Mark 3:30; Mark 5:8. Origen and Chrysostom have this reading and meaning, while Gregory Thaumaturgus calls our Lord ὁ σωτὴρ ὁ πάντα καθαρίζων τὰ βρώματα. Miller’s Scrivener, II. pp. 336 f. So also Field.
