Mark 7:2-4

2and 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 2carefully wash their hands, thus observing the 3traditions of the elders;

4and when they come from the market place, they do not eat unless they 4cleanse themselves; and there are many other things which they have received in order to observe, such as the 5washing of 6cups and pitchers and copper pots.)
