Mark 7:3-5

LEB(i) 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands ritually,* thus* holding fast to the traditions of the elders. 4 And when they come* from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions* which they have received and* hold fast to—for example,* the washing of cups and pitchers and bronze kettles and dining couches.)* 5 And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their* bread with unclean hands?"
