Mark 7:2-4
Revised Geneva Translation
2 And when they saw some of His disciples eat with common hands (that is to say, unwashed), they complained.
3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they have washed their hands, holding to the traditions of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed. And there are many other things there which they have taken upon themselves to observe - such as the washing of cups and pots and of metal vessels and of meal mats).
