Mark 7 is the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Mark in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. This chapter explores Jesus's relationship's with both fellow Jews and Gentiles. Jesus (according to some interpretations) rejects Jewish kosher food laws and then heals two gentiles, one begrudgingly. Scholars debate just how most of this reflects Jesus's own view and how much is reflective of the conflict between Jewish and Gentile converts in the early Church.

Famous quotes containing the word mark:
“Now mark me how I will undo myself.
I give this heavy weight from off my head,
And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
With mine own hands I give away my crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
