Mark 7:2-4

2 and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with ¹impure hands, that is, unwashed.

3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless * they carefully wash their hands, thus observing the ²traditions of the elders;

4 and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless * they cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the washing of ³cups and pitchers and copper pots.)
