Exegesis
The adverb exothen {ἔξωθεν | éxōthen} ‘from without’ limits the scope to external influences, with the participle eisporeuomenon {εἰσπορευόμενον | eisporeuómenon} ‘entering’ specifying inward movement toward a person.
In context — Mark 7:15
Nothing outside a person that enters him can defile him; rather, what issues from a person is what renders him impure.
