Exegesis
Within the quotation, the emphatic negative ouchi {Οὐχὶ | Ouchì} precedes the universal pantes {πάντες | pán-tes}, followed by the predicate adjective katharoi {καθαροί | ka-tha-roí} and the copula este {ἐστε | é-ste}, forming ‘not all are clean’. English word order reshapes the Greek into a natural subject–verb–object sequence while preserving the causal and emphatic elements.
