2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say , with unwashen, hands, they found fault .
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash , they eat not. And many other things there be , which they have received to hold , as the washing of cups, and pots *, brasen vessels, and of tables.
