Mark 7:1-5

Haweis(i) 1 AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him. 2 And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault. 3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4 And coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, and couches. 5 Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
