Hi Mark,

Is it then possible not only to buy KAQARZWN but also to find its
subject as AFEDRWN (masc.)?
Cf. www.torahresource.com/EnglishArticles/Mark7.19ShortNote.pdf .

I do not see any narrative support  for an idea of 'abolishing the
dietary law' here. Bringing in Pauline comments into the discussion of
this Gospel text seems anachronistic to me.

I have a few references yet to ingest and digest: (1)
http://ntgateway.com/weblog/2006/01/did-jesus-declare-all-foods-clean.html
and (2) Black, "An Aramaic Approach to the Gospels and Acts" (p. 159)
