| | Did Jesus Declare All Foods Clean? |
 | | Noah was aware of a distinction God had made between clean and unclean animals, even before the flood (Gen. 7:2), long before the time of the Mosaic food laws of Leviticus chapter 11, which specifies animals that are unclean, an abomination, and are not to be eaten. |
 | | That the unclean animals were taken into the ark by twos, and the clean animals by sevens, shows that Noah ate no unclean animals after the flood, nor used them for sacrifices (Gen 8:20), because that would have meant automatic extinction for the unclean animals. |
 | | Jesus is making the point that all food (clean or unclean) passes through the body, including that defiled by unwashed hands, an that it is not retained such that it corrupts a man's heart, causing him to sin. |
