Exegesis
The verbs chorei {χωρεῖ | chō-reî} ‘goes’ and ekballetai {ἐκβάλλεται | ek-bál-le-tai} ‘is expelled’ are coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí}, marking successive stages in this movement. In translation, the participial construction is rendered with “everything entering” (formal) and “whatever you eat” (dynamic) to make the substantival participle explicit, while the prepositional sequence is kept intact to reflect the logical, physical progression that undergirds the argument about what does and does not defile a person.
In context — Matthew 15:17
Do you not understand that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach and is cast out into the latrine ?
