1 And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, arriving from Jerusalem, gathered together before him. 2 And when they had seen certain ones from his disciples eating bread with common hands, that is, with unwashed hands, they disparaged them. 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat without repeatedly washing their hands, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 And when returning from the market, unless they wash, they do not eat. And there are many other things which have been handed down to them to observe: the washings of cups, and pitchers, and bronze containers, and beds. 5 And so the Pharisees and the scribes questioned him: “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but they eat bread with common hands?” Mark 7:1-5, Catholic Public Domain Version.
