My apologies to the list. Apart from the question of whether  
καθαρίζων is the earliest text of Mark, the issue has been  
raised about the grammatical connection or function of  
καθαρίζων/ον (Jesus' words, Evangelists words?),  of τὰ  
βρώματα (food or filth?). I guess I am raising the issue of  
πάντα τὰ βρώματα (all food of any kind [kosher/non  
kosher], all food being talked about in the immediate context [defiled- 
by-unwashed hands], all filth expelled from the body?). These are  
interesting questions about the Greek text, but I am now quite unsure  
what is meant by immediate context, especially if at issue is who said  
what to whom?
