Exegesis

The clause introduced by ou gar {οὐ γάρ | ou gár} provides the rationale, with kalon estin {καλόν ἐστιν | kalón é-stin} forming a predicate construction, “it is good/proper,” here negated.

In contextMark 7:27

And He said to her, “Permit first the children to be satisfied , for it is not proper to take the children’s bread and to throw it to the dogs.”
