1 Now the Pharisees and some of the Torah scholars who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Yeshua.
2 And they saw that some of His disciples were eating bread with unclean hands, that is, not washed.
3 (For the Pharisees and all Jewish people do not eat unless they wash their hands up to the elbow, keeping the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they perform a ritual washing. There are many other traditions they have received and hold, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels.)
5 The Pharisees and Torah scholars questioned Yeshua, “Why don’t Your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders? Why do they eat bread with unwashed hands?”
