Mk 7:19a ... "Because not does it enter of him into the heart, but into the body cavity, ..."

Verse 19 has 3 phrases and 20 dialog words. The first phrase has these 11 dialog words ... "hoti ouk eisporeuetai autou eis tēn kardian all eis tēn koilian" ("Because not does it enter of him into the heart, but into the body cavity, ...").

The 11 dialog words are top down. The words "tēn kardian" are in line to "the heart." The words "tēn koilian" are tangent to the triangle holding "the body cavity." With this diagram, you can actually see the food go in, around the heart, and into the 'body cavity' (koilian).
