Mark 3:30

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
28

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

30

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

31

There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

32

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Dietary Laws Still Binding

The verse explicitly refers to an "unclean spirit," not unclean food. The concept of "unclean" in this context pertains to spiritual defilement or demonic possession, which is distinct from the dietary laws concerning clean and unclean animals. There is no linguistic or contextual connection in Mark 3:30 to food distinctions.
